Annapolis humidity fosters mushrooms

Muggy August weather here in Annapolis, Maryland means mushrooms in addition to sticky doors, damp clothes, and frizzy hair. Well to be honest I’m not certain whether the crop I spied this morning on the front lawn were mushrooms or toad stools, but I’m sure they’d make good spore prints. They are definitely large in size.  I saw many mushroom crops on my walk from Murray Hill  to City Dock this morning and I’m sure I’ll see more mushrooms in the upcoming month.  What fascinates me is how quickly they pop up.

The texture and color is quite remarkable.
