Mushrooms... Fruiting Around Here

Over the past few days,the sky has been moody around here... The clouds move around in dark groups, with a sunbreak here and there. Love that word, sunbreak. It describes exactly what happens when the sun makes a run for it, among the clouds...

Took the dog for a walk this afternoon, and the camera. The mushrooms are appearing in greater numbers, and lots of variety. Here are three examples... Hope you can help identify them, because I'm too tired to pick up the mushroom book and do the Sherlock thing tonight.

Mystery Mushroom One

Mystery Mushroom Two

Mystery Mushroom Three

And below, here's Mr. Finn, sitting pretty in the hawkflowers, after a half hour of chasing his ball around the Hidden Meadow...

It's a very nice time of the year, before the late fall storms. That's when the wind rattles your windows and you wonder whether the roof will stay on the house... Let's enjoy the calm before the storm.
