A few days after mowing down the last batch of mushrooms a whole new crop came up.  This time around they were more developed and much larger:

I had 4 areas were they popped up in nice little clusters. They were in full bloom for about 2 days before they turned brown and started to dry up.

Sadly no Smurfs ever appeared.  This Sunday I mowed down this batch so it will be interesting to see if I get any more after the nights rains.

Full set can be seen here: More Mushrooms

We finally had a couple of good rain storms but nowhere near where the annual rainfall totals should be.  When it does rain we usually get a few smallish mushrooms but nothing like these monsters that have sprouted up:

I wonder if the Smurfs are setting up shop to begin their sequel.  I had better send Indy out to investigate…
