Telse-You're lucky! They're such beautiful fungi. I've only found them once, this year down here and the sun was too bright and created burnout on the images. Yours turned out gorgeous! :-)
Thank you so much Janell. They usually spring up somewhere here.
We had these in our yard this year as well. You captured them beautifully, Telse!!!
