All the rain lately has really brought out the mushrooms.  We have seen these in the park two weeks in a row, growing on a pile of mulch.  You can see their different ages.

 

Seek told me they are Fringed sawgill mushrooms,  Lentinus crinitus.  When I looked that up in my Audubon mushroom field guide, I found no such thing.  So then I looked on the Internet, and found some pictures that look kinda like these.  

 

But, you remember the rule, right?  Don't touch until you are POSITIVE of their identity.  I don't feel too secure in the identity of these mushrooms.  I think I will call them fungi.  Not too inviting, when you look at it that way.  

 

Interesting, though.

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
