They've shown up in small numbers a few times after rain, but this week had just enough rainfall to make the mushrooms happy, especially on the mound of stump-grindings where the hackberry tree once stood. Interestingly, the clusters have sprung up mostly over places where I had dug into it and added hardwood charcoal ash from my grill.
They look like tiny Fae barrios
They are very short-lived; some colonies were already falling into disrepair.
The smaller groupings can be very attractive.
By evening, most were folding down, like tiny umbrellas. Maybe they'll be back tomorrow. I doubt these are edible -- usually the more interesting a mushroom looks, the more likely it is to be dangerous to eat. But they're nice to look at.

Interesting. In my neck of the woods (Texas), nothing like those. Good camera work. Tam will be impressed.
We had some mushrooms show up that had a nearly metallic sheen.
I don't know what they were, but they were beautiful to look at.
