Hidden Mushrooms

Project 365 – #180 Last night, when I went outside to get the pictures of the sprinkler system in action, I saw these little mushrooms next to the blueberry bush.  The lighting was horrible, but I still think these little guys are cute.  Munchkin thought it was cool that we had some mushrooms.  It’s funny how looking through the lens of a camera can make you more aware of some of the little things that you might otherwise miss.
