Soft push ...

There have been a few references to eating added this morning so
I thot I would add that I believe this to be a Fly Agaric mushroom
This is a killer ... generally if a mushroom is pretty it will kill you.

Another way to look at it is that the edible mushrooms are usually found by
slugs first and have a few bites out of them before you can get a good picture.

This is an amazing photo, Larry! The colour and lighting are wonderful.

Excellent detail and lighting on this on Larry!
Karen Leaf14-Sep-2004 02:57
Thanks for the 'shroom info. I'll get mine at the store.
Got great light on this one Larry.

Another sign of fall... and time to go hunting for something to stew for a piece of toast. Thanks for reminding me.

Yep - keep these critters out of your mushroom omlette. Nice shot - love wild fungi pics !

Both, my aunt and my grandmother used to take me in the woods to hunt for mushrooms - Now I would not dare to do it on my own.

beautiful yellow killer.
Guest 13-Sep-2004 16:41
First time I've ever seen one of those! Nicely spotted!

I never knew that about slugs...and I can almost smell the forest floor in this photo..
Katie Chew13-Sep-2004 13:58
Nice color!
christianl13-Sep-2004 13:47
Nice colors!
I like the caption too...
Gayle P. Clement13-Sep-2004 13:29
Lots of determination here. I've never seen a mushroom this shade of yellow before.
katwilkens13-Sep-2004 12:57
Beautiful color--I've never seen one like this.
Yvonne13-Sep-2004 11:53
Amazing just how strong they are pushing up through whatever is there. Its a pretty
little toady.
petesie13-Sep-2004 11:51
Another winner, Larry. Especially since I don't see any of these around here. I really like the shadows on the mushroom.

Excellent image Larry.
Lori Rolfe13-Sep-2004 10:33
very nice... I bet this would have been a cool sequenced photo shot ....watching the pretty little mushroom push all the woodsey stuff up out of its way.... nice image
Karen Stuebing13-Sep-2004 10:22
Pretty mushroom. I've seen these yellow ones. They must be common. Go ask Alice. :)

Nice close up and I like the leaf and twigs. They contribute to the naturalness of the setting.
Dennis Steinauer13-Sep-2004 09:45
But I don't think the dead twigs should be there - could make the fungschway. (Did you taste it?)
Adalberto Tiburzi13-Sep-2004 09:43
he he... cool capture. (Is it edible?)
Argishti Khachik13-Sep-2004 09:39
great shot Larry!
Guest 13-Sep-2004 09:29
What a bright yellow fun-guy!
joshishots13-Sep-2004 09:29
what a great vibrant colour

This is great, Larry. There seems to be a bit of a funghi thing going on:http://www.pbase.com/gwiz/image/33742616
