After recent rains, a few mushrooms have started to emerge on the property. Though my mushroom ID skills are fledging at best, I think this is a pear-shaped puffball (Apioperdon pyriforme). If so, it is a edible mushroom, which is somewhat confirmed by the many nibbles on this bunch. But taking no chances I will not forage this letting the backyard creatures sample this fall delight. I almost missed it in the back yard as they rest on the underside of a rotting maple tree.
Mushrooms, finally!
