was surprised when we got home from voting to discover a row of mushrooms along the edge of the lawn…

they have a number of names – got this from Wikipedia:

Coprinus comatus, commonly known as the shaggy ink cap, lawyer’s wig, or shaggy mane, is a common fungus often seen growing on lawns, along gravel roads and waste areas.

when they are new, they are these adorable little white cylinders… maybe where they got the lawyers’ wig name…

then they turn into these rather not-so-pretty versions… the shaggy ink cap…

no plans to eat them, lol…
