Hiding down below, in the shade of the Salvia are hundreds of tiny, silvery-grey mushrooms, looking pale and delicate and ghostly in the filtered light.

In My Other Life...
About Me
- Cathy
- Austin, Texas, United States
- A Canadian living in Texas learning slowly, slowly about dirt and plants and trees and what grows and probably more frequently, what doesn't... and wishing that gardening would count for exercise. And now, I have to leave my beloved garden and start jogging up and down to the Acropolis every day. At least I'll have the exercise thing covered. Now back in Austin, and finding out what it's like to live with TWO cats....
I've had my fair share of mushrooms in the garden this year. I was hoping that you were going to identify the one here in the photo - I have the same popping up in the shaded moist areas. Then I have the opposite of them in the sunnier spots - big, fat stemmed mushrooms. These thin wispy ones look like they should live under the sea to me. They look a little aquatic.
ReplyDeleteHi Roberta,
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I didn't identify them. I just did a search now, and from what I can tell they look to be from the Mycena family, and probably the Mycena Stylobates... It is always a little hard to tell from a Google search, but that is my best guess.
I have some of the fat ones too that you were describing... I guess I better see if I can figure those out as well.
I have these as well. Beautiful here in Tucson and rare to see in the garden. I'm working on a post right now with them and trying to ID them. Chris from Las Aventuras in Tucson
