Mushroom

Every year - for at least the past 25 years - this mushroom as grown at the base of a tree in my front yard. I have no clue whether or not it is poisonous. I just thinks it looks neat. View Large
Great shot, Harry! Love the color!

It is a very interesting mushroom or toadstool. The color is great and the shapes are a strange. Nice capture.
