Lawn and Backyard grown Mushrooms captured during Spring-Summer - 2010

I live in a small townhome surrounded with small size lawn and wooded patch. It is wonderful  healing experience to live so close to the nature. Every year around spring season variety of  mushrooms pop up after good rainfall...This year we had very poor rain fall and we are facing drought conditions. Since spring following  two three varieties of mushrooms were spotted  in lawn and around the home....Enjoy the pictures.

Mushrooms Spotted during First week of June in mulch.
