Wayne Smith photographed this beauty, which we believe is a Giant Puffball.

Barbara Thrush photographed a Short-stemmed Russula.

There is beauty in the fungus that appears after some rain. It's been too dry this past week for many mushrooms to appear, but that looks to be changing, starting Friday.

Thanks to Wayne and Barbara for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Today is sunny and mild. Last night's sunset was so beautiful. Okay, bonus photo! Taken by me last night.
