One of the most recent photos I've had the chance to take, and it's quite a subject. Ah, fall showers, with warm temperatures, has brought a bounty of fungi to the surface this week. My neighborhood is practically blossoming with these crazy decomposers, so essential to the ecosystem, and in such a variety of colors. Here we have a cluster of fungi that is (tentatively) identified as a Lepiota spp. I haven't gotten farther than that. But it is this beautiful orange color, delicate as well; additional rainshowers have dampened their edges and even crushed some of them. But they are still incredible organisms, and it is nice to see them lounging around my yard and neighborhood. Enjoy.
