More mushrooms!

A little disclaimer again: mushrooms are not plants, but since they live with plants, and even help them by decomposing organic matter and making it available to them they made it to the PlantPages. Remember: do not eat the mushrooms if you don’t know what you are doing.

I found these at the base of the fig tree in front of 127 Bimini Pl. I think Maria waters the place a lot and that helps it. The tree is probably decomposing too. I found some mushrooms there a few days ago (see previous plant page) so these must be coming from the same mycelium. They last for a day and turn totally black at the end. They might be some sort of Inky Cap.
