>>>>The California rains brought huge crops of many kinds of mushrooms this year.
They certainly did ! I am now quite please to see this guy in the garden because my soil was totally dead when I started the garden. No joke. Since Kent said, "Fungi are a necessary part of any soil ecosystem." I see it as another sign that the soil is improving.
I'll probably remove the part of the mushroom in the photo because it is growing at the base of a micro mini rose called 'Si'. The mushroom is almost as big as the rose.
Thank you for providing a possible identification.
Smiles,
