Another strange mushroom with black on it growing out of some rocks. It was surprisingly big and tall.
Older, taller shaggy mane than the shorter, fatter and younger ones next to it. Darker cap.
Strange mushrooms growing on a sidewalk in some decorative rocks. They looked kind of like eggs to me. I thought they might be small Shaggy Mane?
A thick layer of wood chips, maybe hackberry, is just under the surface where these mushrooms appeared. In photo 14 you can actually see a chip presumably pushed up by the fungus. That was actually picture # 1 in the series. I moved the chip for the next photo but other more rotted smaller chips can be seen.
