The blusher, a summer mushroom which sometimes appears in the same place year after year, as here on a front lawn I pass quite often. They are normally one of the larger mushroom species, with caps three inches or more across, and correspondingly tall. But not this year. So far, there’s only three fruiting bodies, where usually there’s at least twice as many. And the ones which have appeared are a lot smaller than usual, barely standing above the short grass of the lawn.
