Today I started teaching my daughter about mushrooms. Part of me was doing it because it was something fun to do (and we have LOTS of mushrooms in the yard right now), but part of me was also doing it to draw attention to the fact that they can be poisonous. Since our recent rains, we've had mushrooms popping up EVERYWHERE, and leave it to my three year old to become obsessed with these little treasures in the garden. We had a bunch of tree's removed this year, so seeing all of these mushrooms is actually a good thing- as it means the old root systems are starting to break down. Thank goodness we didn't find any stinkhorns today! Here are some pics of our favorites today.....
