The abundant and constant rains that the sky has been bestowing upon Lanzarote and La Graciosa since last December have caused biodiversity in the form of vegetation to make its way through a normally arid and dry land.
So much so that even different types of fungi have sprouted in some parts of the island due to the high humidity of the soil. Photographer Rosa García shared a photo of a **coastal mushroom**, whose scientific name is *Agaricus litoralis*, on her Instagram profile."Paths that are normally drier, now after the rains look green, full of flowers, red prickly pears, wild mushrooms, and striking orange lichens," the photographer comments in the publication
This is a very common species in Lanzarote when it rains, and its characteristics include a robust cap, dirty white or cream-colored, which cracks over time due to the action of wind and sun. Hence, its surface has a kind of scales.
In addition, the stem of this fungus is usually short and thick, generally growing in sandy inland areas of Lanzarote. It is also common to find it on the other Canary Islands
