Parasol mushroom

I didn't have to walk very far to make the acquaintance of this fine photographic subject, a delicate fungus growing happily in my meager vegetable garden. We've had a little bit of rain, chiefly evening showers, and while the precipitation hasn't been nearly enough to allay worries about impending droughts—something I always seem to be fretting about (I wonder if there's a medication and/or therapy for this concern)—there has been enough moisture to send forth a crop of mushrooms. This is a species of Marasmius, a group collectively known as Parasol or Pinwheel fungi, for obvious reasons. They're generally tiny—this one's not even two inches tall—and fragile-looking, with their finely pleated caps and thin stems. They're about the right size to serve the umbrella needs of mouselings.
