Alien Mushroom

I didn't think mushrooms grew in the middle of summer but..... oh the story!... My darling husband cut down a beautiful shrub to the ground by mistake! I was mad, sad and resigned! I took several cuttings of the plant, dipped them in rooting powder and went round the fence line looking for places to stick them! I found this little mushroom looking pristine over in the dark so, of course, grabbed the camera and shoved it in the mushrooms face!

What a cute little mushroom! :) Glad you found him! And bummer for the hubby cutting down a shrub by accident :)

[Kristen]

Neat shot, looks like the mushroom is glowing!

[Nelly]

Oh speaking of that cutting by accident .I know how you feel, I can relate. My husband is good with that (LOL). But I love your alien mushroom!

[Tony]

Love this capture and the "alien" glow.

Wow - this is an alien mushroom - but cool looking.
My hubby has done this before too and felt terrible when he realized - now he is afraid to go near my shrub or perennial borders.

@jankoos ... and that's why I didnt make a scene - I do want him to take part in the garden. I just stamped my foot in private!

reminds me of Eve from WALL.E

[Rick Schies]

Hopefully your few sprigs will take root and grow. Thsi guy looks cool, nice and smooth

[Deb]

Perfect shape, waiting to be photographed :)

[Kerri]

Cool

in the Disney animated movie "Fantasia" there are little mushroom people that do a sweet little dance - that's what i thought of when i saw this shot!

[Yvonne]

Oh, so cute. Sorry about the shrub. I sure hope that all your efforts pay off and the shrub takes root.

Great capture. I think his spaceship is just out of sight, hovering anxiously to take him home. About your question yesterday -- I'm a perpetual student. I've been auditing art classes for about ten years now.

Lovely capture Maggie, great lighting.

Cool mushroom! They grow throughout the spring, summer and fall here- wherever it is cool and damp.

[Sharon Lee]

Great bulb...

[Gillian]

I completely relate to the cutting down "by accident"! But at least you got the mushroom shot out of it! Nice one!

[Pat Knowles]

A perfectly shaped dome of mushroom, doesn't look like an eater too pretty!! No don't put the amateur gardener off, he meant well !

[Terry]

It does look just like the title

[Maggiemae]

@catwoman2 It is actually a flying saucer, Mary, disguised as a mushroom!

[Kathryn Marshall]

Good contrast in this shot. My husband also cuts down things that I want to keep in the garden. Whenever, he goes outside with the garden tools, I try to drop what I am doing and chase after him to see what he is doing.

Probably though it was safe under the tree. Great shot it has a very interesting shape.
