Pushing up through the soil...

I know mushrooms push up through the soil (I can watch them as they begin to "pop" up.). But I am always fascinated when I find soil still on top.

Exquisite focus and I love the shape with that little bit of dirt on the top where it has pushed on through. Lovely.

He must have popped straight up. Would love to see a time lapse of that happening.

@k9photo We have very soft, sandy soil so it just seems to "ride" up as the mushroom erupts.
