Well, it’s Florida so you never know. I guess mushrooms can show up at anytime, even mid-summer. I don’t claim to know a lot about mushrooms, but they have always interested me.
Today I have found these large, reddish orange mushrooms in the grass under a big oak tree. I had to get my hand (and foot) in there for size comparison…LOL. This is the front yard “lawn” which is mostly weeds. The mushrooms seem to be growing from the oak tree roots (maybe).
A week or so ago I was ripping up some tall grass along the side of my Vegega garden bed and found bunches of mushrooms (below).
I can’t find the names of these mushrooms, but wanted to share the photos.
I always discovered interesting mushrooms in the woods when I lived in New Hampshire. Fall was an especially good time to search for them. It was fun to take a walk in the woods and see what was out there. I miss it.
I find it odd to see mushrooms in July in Florida. It seems like a weird time for them to grow. Quite honestly that big reddish mushroom is a bit scary looking. It seems like something so strange belongs in this state.
I took one more mushroom photo (below). It looks like an old and new version comparison with the dark set in front and newer growth behind.
Just for fun, I have included a Zebra Butterly on my yellow dahlia. A morning surprise in the garden.
If you know what these mushrooms are, please leave a comment.
Thank you for sharing!
