  4. They are beautiful mushrooms, and they will away. I'm glad you captured them for us.

    Tell Teddy the rain will go away. I sing to my babies when it's like that. The lawn still isn't covered from the bad winter we experienced.

    I love your patio. One of these days... we're going to redo ours. So much to be done...

    Love to you!

  8. Hi Kary,

    Hmmm, they look like mushrooms to me, but I couldn't tell you what type.

    Hopefully the rain will stop soon and you'll be able to play in the garden ~ and Teddy Too!

    I think it's warmer in Maine than Cali right now! Have a great Sunday!

  9. About 4 years ago at a yard sale, I found this old book that has pictures of everything in North America from mammals to mushrooms--Yours is in the book, and it's called, appropriately 'Japanese Parasol mushroom, and its scientific name is Coprinus plicatilis....It's a pretty little thing....

  11. Those mushrooms are so dainty and cute! I can tell you where summer is though- it's here! :)

  12. I think they are little umbrellas for the garden fairies, don't you.
    Showers may be annoying but the beauty that arrives after all the clouds have cleared make every drop tolerable.
    Enjoy the week.

  13. Hi Kary
    I thought they might be toad stools because of the new lawn you put in for Teddy. But I just read your comments and I see they are a Japanese mushroom. Hope the rain stops and you warm up a bit. Susan

  16. What unusual mushrooms indeed. They look like little umbrellas for the wee fairies and pixies.

    Ditto on the rain. We had quite a bit yesterday and this morning. It seems to have backed off now but I don't think it is over just yet for Northern Ca.

  17. We are having your summer up here in the Pacific NW, finally. I hear that your rain is moving up this way so it will be leaving you soon...Don't worry Teddy, the sun is coming back!

    It looks to be some sort of mushroom but I have never seen it before.

  18. In Kansas!! It has bee in the 90's here for too long already and we still have three more days of it. We can't have the rain either beacuse of flooding issues.
    I'll tell ya--Mother Nature needs to get out of her SNIT she is in.

    Take care and tell Teddy Hi!

  21. We have some type of mushroom that pops up at times called the Fairy Ring because they usually form a circle. They are not that pretty and delicate though. I think,but I have not researched it, these grow where there has been a fruit tree in years past. It is really strange to see them when they do pop up out of nowhere,overnight.

  23. They seem to be a type of mushroom....they kinda look like little jellyfish to me :) I cannot believe this rain we are having here in California :( It will be sunny soon....poor Teddy! Xoxoxo

  24. Such cute little mushrooms! I hope they aren't poisonous. I always worry about my dogs eating the mushrooms that pop up in the yard around here but they never seem to be too interested in eating them thankfully!
    That teddy sure is a charmer!
    Love your patio and I sure hope you can shed that long underwear soon!

  25. I think our BC rain turned right as it came across and ended up in California...and we got your California sunshine. Of course, the rain will find us again and the sunshine will beam down on you and all will be back to normal. Aren't you glad you got to see those sweet parasol mushrooms?

  26. Dearest Kary - raining here in good olde England too! So lovely to have you visit recently and happy you're back online - have missed you lots! We get these mushrooms in early Autumn - they look as though they've been turned inside out don't they? Poor little Teddy...Alice hates the rain too, stands at the open back door, just glowering at it!! Hope the sun comes out for you all soon! Much love to you xoxox Alice & Me

  27. Arent they the prettiest little mushroomy things? Almost fairylike!
    Its the same here today Kary - cold and wet - and Logan too would like to be out playing.
    I love that cute photo of Teddy - he's adorable!
    Will have a go at a collage of Logan and not forgetting Bessie our cat, maybe you could do one of your furry babies too!!
    Hope it clears up!

  28. Not our typical CA June, eh? The sun has got to come soon. Like Teddy my pug ladies, who hate getting their dainty paws wet, are missing the sun as well.

  31. Those mushrooms look so delicate. I don't know what they are but I do no they do not belong in your yard in "sunny" CA. What is going on with our weather? It is rainy and cold here also. I'm sorry Teddy is stuck indoors hopefully this will stop soon. Have a good day. Lorrie

  39. Oh your little mushrooms are so delicate and sweet! Poor Mr. Teddy. I hope it had dried up by today so he can go play with his cute toys in the thick luscious lawn mommy put in just for him. Wishing you and Teddy a wonderful week full of sunshine!
