While we do have regular Toadstools here in the southwest, they can't be found in the desert...
Though there are some pretty awesome rock formations that do a pretty good job at mimicing Toadstools!
These fanciful formations are made by differential erosion - leaving a hard capstone on the top and weathering the softer sandstone beneath into these pillars that resemble toadstools and goblins.
The Toadstools come in a variety of colors, size and geology - and can be found in several locations around the Utah Arizona Border, with some of them only a mile or so hike (one way) to reach!

You have beautiful places to hike. I do miss running on Stone Mountain in Georgia, this summer I will be carefully checking out the Niagara Gorge for trails.
