Mushroom Surprise at Sunrise

Jogging past the manure pile this morning I noticed a happy clump of mushrooms sprouting upwards with gusto. They looked almost fantasy-like in their appearance, proudly perched atop a mound of dung, and contrasted nicely against the beautiful sunrise.

I was glad I snapped this photo when I did. It was unseasonably warm today, and within a few hours of the sun coming out and the mercury climbing past 70º , all four mushrooms had turned black and shriveled up.
