Not sure if I've ever seen mushrooms growing as early as this in the past, but there seems to be a lot of them growing in my garden at the moment. Here's a picture of some.

No sign of any in my grass at the moment, but half of my garden is woodland and they are growing all over the place in there. I always thought mushrooms were things that grew in the autumn.

I laid an old bath towel on the ground and then just sort of collapsed onto it.

I will admit it took a bit more effort to get up than it took to get down.

A wee hint from an old photographer. If you're going to photograph something at ground level, you really need to get down to the subjects level to get a good shot. And don't forget to move as much rubbish and grass stems from in front of the subject as you can to give a clearer view of what you are shooting.
