I saw this growing under the bird feeder.... very pretty... left it there ....poisonous but the birds know that and the fox that visits there to suck up the sunflower seeds doesnt give it another look. I removed some. They have a symbiotic relationship with the Silver Birches and There is one very near ..so scientists are right🥰
Thank you @Anonymous
The garden is mature now and when that happens everything works better.
I took a photo not good because through glass of a group of Gold Finches under the feeder picking up sunflower seeds they are difficult to see they look like the leaves on the ground. You may like this.
This is how this little mushroom looks today...really opened up.

Getting ready to set up the Beeutiful Red Mason Bees for their Spring time adventures.
I have cleaned about a thousand bees that have been in the nesting tubes over-winter.
Here they are ~ sleeping beeuties ~ will put them in the release box later above
the nesting tubes 
Snapped a bee in one of the crocuses outside the house earlier...
Know what it's not ... but what is it...
It must be a type of Bumblebee.
Too early for Solitary too early for honey bees.

I must have one of the largest semi-wild colonies non-commercial.
