The mushrooms are beginning to fruit again, but only a few of them are spotted in the dark area. Parasola conopilus, (which is in all my books still as Psathyrella conopilus), can grow in very small groups or even one cap by itself, but given the chance does put on a good display. Since they were growing in the dark, which might cause the problem with the lighting, I decided to take them out for taking some pictures. I noticed these mushrooms growing in group on the decaying log. Perhaps, they needed a shady spot to stay hidden but not now because I need them. Known as Brittlestem Mushrooms (Parasola conopilus), a large genus of small saprotrophic mushrooms that used to be seen growing on the rotten logs. As we know, mushrooms grow in every habitat, and you certainly don’t need to go to a nature reserve to find your first toadstools: there will more than likely be several species in your garden. The closer I look at fungi the more I love to shoot and I wish I had much time to take more shots.
