Autumn sunset’s rain
dry dirt drums from crust to mud;
dawn sprouts wee mushrooms.

I’ve been finding some odd mushrooms in my dawn lawn.
Just enough rain or dew… Some of the old wood in the berms have some odd ‘srooms too!

I know what you mean. It was on my yard circuit to look at the witch hazel that I saw some unexpected shrooms.
