Weeping widow mushrooms
Just as I thought we were skipping mushrooms this year - I found these in our garden today.
Also called Weeping Mary - Lacrymaria lacrymabunda.
Weeping because of the black, watery droplets that appear at the cap rim and on te edges of the gills when they are moist. The English name somehow seems particularly poignant when these mushrooms pop up to shed their tears beside gravestones cemeteries.
