Wonderful shot! The sepia works well here.

Strange – in some way the mushroom looks manmade…
An interesting view!

Yes, I thought something seemed almost artificial about this mushroom, too.

I like this very much. (Really) The textured cap is interesting in this macro. I know the shroom was tiny. They fascinate me. I always imagine tiny people living under them. You must spend half your life crawling around on the ground. 😉

I almost wanted to post another even more close up of the cap–parts of it are very shaggy and others are smooth. I do spend a lot of time on the ground: that’s where all of the interesting stuff is. 🙂

This looks like it might be a shaggy parasol mushroom.

Yes, I think so! Thank you, Allen.

I have some small shaggy parasols growing in my back yard right now. When conditions are optimum, I have seen the caps reach almost 8 inches across. Nice capture, Melanie!

It has a fascinating structure, doesn’t it?
