On August 29, the day of our 39th anniversary as an immigrant, Pieter spotted these very special mushrooms in our garden, under our Magnolia Grandiflora.
Coprinellus disseminatus.
Beautiful Coprinellus disseminatus...
Pieter, being a true teacher, placed a US penny next to some of the fruit bodies to show how tiny they are!
Not a clean penny but you still manage to read: IN GOD WE TRUST...
Here they are, growing on the decaying roots of some of the Magnolia Grandifolia shoots that had come up under the big tree.
It was only because of August being like a WET MONSOON...
Perfect climate for any mushroom to develop!
Have you ever seen this variety?

Boa noite, Mariette e Peter, espero que ambos estejam bem.
ReplyDeleteGostei muito dessa postagem, e com ela aprendi um pouco mais
sobre cogumelos, esses bem pequenos, menor do que uma moeda
americana, como você diz.
Um abraço e uma ótima semana.
Querido Pedro,
DeletePor alguma razão, encontrei este comentário na pasta de Spam no Blogger...
Sim, eram belezas e só eram visíveis depois de muita chuva.
Eles decompõem algumas velhas raízes de árvores.
Abraços,
Pieter & Mariette
Belli questi funghetti!
ReplyDeleteCara Olga,
DeleteSì, questi erano molto carini!
Abbracci,
Mariette
Not seen these mushrooms; but we get mushrooms growing wildly in our garden. We leave them alone.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteFor both of us a first as well but they were beauties!
We make photos of them and that's it.
Let them play their role in nature—decomposing woody parts.
Hugs,
Mariette
Son muy vistosos, a pesar de su pequeñez.
ReplyDeleteBesos.
Querida Antónia,
DeleteEsas son gemas en miniatura, tan perfectamente formadas.
Abrazos,
Mariette
I probably haven't seen that kind before (if I have, I would not have known), but they're quite interesting!
ReplyDeleteDearest Kim,
DeleteThey were a FIRST for both of us as well!
When going to bed I told Pieter that they slightly looked like the edible Coprinus (Inkcap) that we grew at our Mushroom Training Center—but in mini form.
Next day I searched for the Coprinus species and there they were! So happy and they're all gone now, the sun is out and it's hot.
But they sure were feasting off those dead roots underneath the Magnolia Grandiflora, from all the suckers that had sprouted up and they whacked them down...
That is nature!
Hugs,
Mariette
Olá, Mariette e Petter, também não conhecia cogumelo assim,
ReplyDeletecom essa bonita aparência! E o sabor, o gosto, é o mesmo?
Um abraço, uma ótima continuação de semana!
Pieter, corrigindo...
DeleteQuerida Taís,
DeleteEsta foi a primeira vez para nós dois também.
Não, nós não comê-los, eles eram tão pequenos - não o suficiente para uma refeição 😏Abraços,
Pieter & Mariette
They also grow here. You can see them growing in a large group. It's a really bad mushroom year here;-((
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteWe had mushrooms everywhere, all kinds of but not now with the sun shining and with 30°C+ temperatures. They don't like that...
Hoping you still will see them in October maybe.
Hugs,
Mariette
Mariette, they are very cute, I don't think I've ever seen them before. We've had a few large toadstools lately despite the heat. . . . . . and thankfully right now a cold front is pushing through and the 94F of an hour ago is starting to drop, 87F right now!!!! Had a 10 minute shower which was good, need a lot more moisture though for the grass etc.
ReplyDeleteCongrats. on the 39th anniversary of arriving in the USA - I'll hit my 60th in October and never imagined I'd stay so long as I was only coming for one year, haha!!!!
Hope all well, I've been so busy with life and not doing much blogging whilst there was so much to be watching on TV in regard to the Queen's death. It's been such a sad time and I've been more homesick than ever.
Hugs to you both - Mary
Dearest Mary,
DeleteThese were darling miniature mushrooms and I'm glad, Pieter captured them before they were gone!
Oh, summer has been passing way too fast—we both can hardly keep up with everything!
You certainly were captivated by the TV, as were many people worldwide, around the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. She left behind quite a legacy and also for being the head of the Anglican Church. She served God and that in itself is quite an exemplary life!
But she lived to be 96; not a fact for mourning too much about... Wish my Pieter would make that!
Hugs,
Mariette to both of you from both of us!
I've never seen them, There are also some very small ones around here that I've seen in the middle of the moss in a public garden. They are tiny but different.

Coisas de Feltro
Dearest Christina,
DeleteIt sure was a first for both of us but they were perfect.
Like you found some tiny ones growing in a moss area; that would be the perfect spot for them anyway, there are so many varieties...
Hugs,
Mariette
Hi, Mariette and Pieter!
ReplyDeleteI believe I have never seen that variety of mushroom, but they are beautiful! They look so delicate and fragile...
Are they edible or poisonous?
Dearest Paula,
DeleteWe never had seen them either!
Those are edible, but when you look at their tiny size compared to the US penny, it shows that for having a meal it is by far not enough!
Hugs,
Pieter & Mariette
They remind me of the Shimeji mushrooms. They are small, too, but delicious!
Delete:)
Guess the Shimeji or beech mushrooms win in size—but they sure taste well!
DeleteThey kinda look like little jellyfish!
ReplyDeleteI've not seen this variety either.
Hugs and blessings, dearest Mariette.
Dearest Veronica,
DeleteThey had a perfect shape, not quite pleated but so fine.
Hugs,
Mariette
