Look what sprung to life in our backyard over night, a rare desert mushroom. We may live on a golf course but we most definitely live in a desert and this is the first time since we moved here that either of us can remember a mushroom growing. The little guy sprang to life between the shade of one of the palm trees and our bird of paradise. Apparently, the drenching a couple of weeks ago has resulted in this little gem. It is most like a Podaxis pistillaris. The weather is dry once again and warm so it will be interesting to see how long the mushroom lives and how much taller and fuller it becomes.
