Mushrooms in the Desert?

All of a sudden I started seeing mushrooms everywhere in the garden. I think it is related to the wood chip mulch that we spread around from our trusty shredder. We shredded Palo Verde wood and maybe the spores were in the wood. Regretfully, the shredder is being retired, due to neighbor's complaints about the noise. The mulch is so valuable, that I barely noticed. Oh well.
Spring Color

I'm not sure of the name-- maybe Pachyphytum. I bought one little plant five or six years ago and I keep starting new cuttings. In early winter the birds find these quite delectible and gobble them down to the stems. This time of year, luckily the birds aren't interested and the plants recover from the trauma.
