It seemed like everyone was finding this delicious, edible mushroom, The Prince, Agaricus augustus. Jon Handel and Ling-yen Jones found a BIG one!
And Adrian Fehr and Marian Sandoval found a large cache of The Prince.
These mushrooms smell of almond, and they are considered dry weather mushrooms. They usually fruit in spring or summer. But we had a nice dry spell with warm temps between big storms. With the opening of the storm door recently, I don't think we'll be seeing these mushrooms for quite a while.
Thanks to Ling-yen and Susan Sandoval for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
Saturday night's storm brought 3 inches of rain, and Monday's storm brought 1.25 inches. Another storm comes in tomorrow morning. Bring it, Mother Nature!
