Mushroom watch 2012!

As you can see, the mushrooms started to flatten out, even as new ones were poking through the grass.

I believe that is 6 inches tall (16ish cm for you metric-heads) where they topped out. For a while there, every time we entered or left the house, Eleanor said "hi mushrooms!" or "bye-bye mushrooms!" I don't remember the actual syllables she substituted for the word "mushroom," but you'll have to take my word for it that's what she meant.

Now the mushrooms have gotten mowed down, so there will be no more posts about them this year. Perhaps there will be more mycological mysteries in the spring!
