toadstool city

I saw these out on the morning walk with Jinks and went back with my camera: a decaying tree trunk stump covered in masses of fungi.

Thanks everyone for such a great response to my toadstool city. I like finding shots with potential close to home. Every autumn I'm on the hunt for one of those red toadstools with white spots on (as elusive as kingfishers) and now I'm looking for pixies and fairies too.....

@quietpurplehaze we had a big patch of the red spotty ones just beside the bird reserve last year.

@pinkpaintpot and regularly see kingfishers

Hazel..... my sister in law's father in law used to go mushroom picking. He knew all about them. His wife used to can them as well, and served cooked and over polenta, mmmmmm.

[Kim]

Fabulous capture!

[Penelope Ann]

Amazing focus

[Hazel]

@lindamp5

That's interesting. I do love mushrooms but mine come strictly from the supermarket!

[Linda Plummer]

I have eaten the wild mushrooms. Best things ever. I just don't think I would go a pick them. It's a lot of work, and I don't really know which ones are the bad ones...LOL.. So mine come from the store as well.

[Steve and Pam Winfield]

Great capture and close up,my wife's mother had a lot of interest in fungi and things like that we have orange ones with white spec's I will try and find a photo just for you fav:)

[Hazel]

@stevepam

I'd like to see that.
