Shrooms

We’ve been growing these little mushroom forests lately out back under the dragon tree. We guess the spores came along with the mulch laid down a few months ago by landscapers we hired to spruce up that part of the back garden.

There are a lot of mushrooms in the world! Somebody who sounds confident on Reddit says they might be in the genus Parasola or Coprinopsis. They shared a link to a site with all the deets on how to tell one from another… but it’s tiring just to look at.

They appear and wither in a day… quite beautiful in the morning but blackened, ripped and contorted by nightfall. Apparently they digest themselves to better spread spores.
