Among-us, the fungus


I took Gilligan out at 8:30 PM for his last perambulation of the day. We got half a block from home when I saw these. It had rained buckets last night and this morning, so I guess all the rain brought these mushrooms. After our walk, I grabbed the camera and dragged Gilligan back to the yard two houses down to get this picture. It was just too cool not to photodocument. Unfortunately, all the rain has made a funky smell in my apartment. It is a very unpleasant smell and I suspect that it comes from a very wet dog getting some of the very old furniture wet. But I can't identify the source within the apartment. Oh well. At least these pretty mushrooms are nice - and kinda spooky.
