I’ve been trying to establish Wine Cap mushrooms (stropharia rugosoannulata) in my yard for a few years, and it looks like I finally had some success. They took after the 3rd attempt, after I got a giant chip-drop from the city’s arborist for the mycelium to feast on. If all goes well, they’ll be permanent residents, along with the morels and paw paws.

Here's a nice little patch, living its best life in the crack between the asphalt and curb.

If you zoom in on the left side, there's also some spotted spurge (Euphorbia maculata) mixed in. The spurge looks really similar to purslane from a distance, but the leaves aren't as fleshy and succulent, and have a bit of red where they connect to the stem. If you break the stem, some white sap will run out, too. Avoid the spurge, it's bad news for your tummy...
Don't eat yellow purslane!
