This is a new mushroom I found in my backyard after several days of rain.  I don't know what kind it is but I do know that this little mushroom will open up like a delicate umbrella caught in a gust of wind.

This little mushroom as well as the ones noted in the previous blog and a few other newbies have popped up because of the rains we've had recently.  The rains are much needed but the downpours are a bit much for the soil.  This hard clay, resistant to sudden showers, produces runoff which results in puddling and washed out mulch.  On the side of my house, a small swamp has formed.  I'm thinking of some sort of underground cistern for this area.  Rain barrels are a must too.

A new little guy.  I just thought he was pretty.

Just another "little brown mushroom".

Okay, no more mushroom photos until new ones crop up.  Remember, I don't have a lot to do and they are so much more interesting than my life at this time.
