Phone photo 884


My backyard was carpeted with these little guys last month.
They grew under a large black walnut tree where nothing else can grow but moss.

Do you mycological types have any idea what kind these are? I like the quote: "There are old mushroom hunters and there are bold mushroom hunters, but there are no old, bold mushroom hunters." I personally don't like to eat mushrooms for any reason, but I am curious. This year I had several different types of mushrooms show up, more than usual, but these fellows were the most plentiful.
