Maybe it&#8217;s the season. The changes of fall make everything look new and exciting again. So maybe all the mushrooms in our yard are always there but I&#8217;m really noticing how many different mushrooms we have popping up.<\/p>\n<p>Our yard isn&#8217;t the only place mushrooms are emerging. They show up three times in the new <em>Polymer Art Projects\u2014Organics<\/em> and there is also an art exhibit &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/thecompoundgallery.com\/hifructose-art-of-the-mushroom\/\">The Arts of the Mushroom<\/a>&#8221;\u00a0 in Oakland, California that opened recently last week and looks amazing (open until December 9th if you are in the area). I also discovered a mushroom lover&#8217;s group on Facebook that I just had to get in on. Mushrooms forms are amazing!<\/p>\n<p>And then these popped up on my screen. I&#8217;ve never thought of mushrooms as cute but these little guys are changing my view on that. They were created by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/people\/ckainrad?ref=pr_profile\">Cheryl Lee Myers<\/a>\u00a0of Elemental Urchin.\u00a0Each fungus face has his own expression and personality. It drew me to look for more of her work and I found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BLV-mSZgECZ\/\">her Instagram page<\/a> and these cute corals as well so I thought I&#8217;d share them both. Also take a look at her work in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/ElementalUrchin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">her Etsy shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What new things are you seeing outside your door these days?
