Rain, Glorious Rain

I got up early and put in a couple of hours in the garden. Lucky I did. A shower chased me inside for breakfast but it forgot to stop. We enjoyed lovely gentle rain until about 4:00pm. You can almost hear the grass growing...and the weeds too I might add.
What a special little fungi! Never seen one like this!

Yes, there is nothing better than rain - our garden is also smiling!

What is this little lollipop thing....is it a fungus like @maggiemae says? Looks all fresh & healthy in your garden same as Maggiemae's!

it has poured with rain here - the wind making it horizontal for a while this morning but fortunately the sun shone and the sky turned blue when I left work

Well, I hope it doesn't overdo it like our rains did last September. Why does precipitation have to come (or not) in extremes?

Such a gorgeous shot

@happypat yes Pat, Maggiemae was right. It is a little garden fungi that grows in potting mix or compost I found with the help of Mr Google. There was a whole group of baby ones around it but the turkeys came in a ate the lot. The little folded cap was supposed to open into a little pointed umbrella but I never got to see it.

@mbemis Extremes! oh yes. Seems just yesterday I was complaining of drought now it doesn't seem to want to stop raining. But I should simply enjoy it because the weather bureau is still forecasting a long dry autumn and are predicting that we'll be back into drought again midyear. Yes extremes as you say.

What a great shot. The fungi is appearing all over the place here too after the rain and of course, the weeds are even faster too.

Great little capture, to cold for gardening here in the SW England.

Great little fungi Margaret. We had one of these come up during the rain after Christmas. Took a shot but never posted it
