Rains bring on Fungal Growths and Mushrooms




The recent rains have brought on a bumper crop of the large mushrooms that grow under our pine trees. They have a plate sized top and many have already tipped over under the weight. The fungus begins as a small nub forcing itself up through the leaves and litter and then it forms a tight cap that is somewhat textured. The cap smooths out and grows very large in diameter.  Not sure what has been nibbling on these. Small holes in the surface shows where they are being eaten.
