Here are a few of them: veiled poisonpie, shiny from the rain; smoky polypore, with a yellow underneath and a black circle with a white ring around it; and honey mushroom, with golden-cream caps. One of the fungi, with a brown flaky cap, we weren’t sure about, maybe it was dusky puffball or shaggy scalycap. Later I found out that veiled poisonpie can be poisonous, but people in Mexico eat it a lot; I also found out that some species of honey mushroom glow in the dark (this is called bioluminescence). And my grandma thinks they’re a nuisance in the garden.
