  2. It's interesting to see all the different kinds of toadstools that pop up when it's damp and rainy. We've had a good bit of rain lately and I'm seeing fungi I've never seen before! Thanks for sharing!

    1. Hmmm... I am not sure, Terry. Hubby would know. Probably none of these, but he does go out during certain times of the year to search for morels and another kind of mushroom. Thank you for the sweet Wednesday visit. Hugs.

  11. You have all kinds of mushrooms! We just mainly get one kind around here, but only when it's really, really wet, which is rare. Nice photos.

    1. I have never seen so many different kinds of mushrooms during one walk, Kate. It was a feast for the eyes. It has been a wet summer here so I guess that is why we were seeing the variety. How interesting that there are few mushrooms in your area, but it is rather dry in OK. Isn't it? Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.

  15. What wonderful pictures. Do ou know which ones are edible and which are poisonous? Mr Snail is such a perfect touch to a nature scene. I have never seen this kind here in my area. Even tho they are are a nuisance in the garden, I can't help but be entranced by them.
