Very beautiful Lee.

happy...might be a fungus but I find them beautiful. When I lived in Georgia I would take my camera on my daily walks and loved taking pictures of the variety of mushrooms I found.

Hi Lee: Very unusual fungi. Hope you don't eat any.

Strange, they appear to be upside down.

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

Hi happymimi,

Mushroom and toadstools are both fungi.

Hi Bruja,

The mushrooms that I have seen online are very beautiful so maybe, you can post the photos you have taken so we can share.

Hi traveler,

I love their colours and arrangements too. I have come across a bright orange one which grows in a cluster. They are beautiful when they initially burst out but their colours quickly turn dull. I have wanted to photograph them but was always too late. Maybe I have to wake up earlier.

Hi bijou,

It is a fungus but is commonly called a mushroom or a toadstool. Most are poisonous.

Hi et,

Some call it a mushroom and some, a toadstool. Some define a toadstool as an inedible mushroom. But, basically, it is a fungus.

Hi AneMac

I agree with art but I don't think it is edible.

Hi Roxy,

I don't think it hurts the tree because it is very short-lived and quickly dries up and die off.

Hi GLUMO,

Thank you. What you see are the good shots; the bad ones, I don't show. Actually, I have become interested in photography after I got my camera. I shoot a number of photos and select the good ones and delete the rest. That's the good thing about a digital camera.
