Mushroom Explosion!
 

Anyone having unusual mushroom growth in your lawn this year? I have never seen so many and such variety. I have harvested 7 big buckets full so far. Twelve varieties: tall, short, fat, thin, big, small, flat, round, domed, tan, brown, yellow, white, pink.

The lawn is more than 30 years old and I have not used fertilizer or lime for many years so these factors are probably not the cause. Any ideas?

They must be decomposing something.

It seems we have a lot too.

On a local hike with my granddaughter's school I noticed the same in the woods. Much larger variety than past years.

The most in my yard ever. Lots of acorns also.

In 2025 I noticed few if any acorns around my property. However a friend living in Mass told me his Massachusetts property was inundated with acorns back in 2025.

Go figure!

Same here.

Lots of different types of mushrooms. Much more than normal.
And seems to be more acorns also.

I was touring all the towering mushrooms in my yard and then this happened...

Outstanding! I saw Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane at Commonwealth Armory in 1965 before they were famous with White Rabbit. They did a couple of other songs and that was it. Arlo Guthrie (Alice's Restaurant) was on the same stage that night. He wasn't famous yet either, and just did the one song, all 24 minutes, of course.
