That looks gorgeous in a frame, it would probably look great in black too, nice shot !!!
Kitsmumma replied

Hey, thanks so much Lisa, I couldn’t decide….. black, white, white, black…....... what the heck, I’ll add both!
funkyfacestudio

It’s really hard too choose, I like both :)

Kitsmumma replied

Thanks so much Mariann.
Silvia Manuela

Glorious! Both suit me.
Kitsmumma replied

Thanks so much Silvia, I just love the texture of mushrooms, so frilly and delicate and these were just divine especially being white.
busbydeebar

i love this one Sylvia!!! stunning natural lines…. and i love the colour of the mushroom, it’s white but not really white… sort of porcelain-like… way cool chicky!!
Kitsmumma replied

Hey Trevy, you would love these, not to eat (I don’t think) but to look at. They are amazing and growing about 20 metres down the street next to the road. They are about the size of a football cut in half, I couldn’t believe it…....... and the colour, yes, I totally get what you mean. They are really white on top. I’ve never seen mushies like these.

Beware the mushroom with the white underbelly… I thought they were commonly known as toadstools?

Absolutely gorgeous shot Sylvia… one of my faves from you for sure!
Kitsmumma replied

I had my suspicions Rhana, is it really? and there were tiny little red ones growing in the grass too, we’ve had so much rain! Thank you x
Lisa Jewell

Feathered purity….

Gorgeous image…..
Kitsmumma replied

Thank you Lisa, feathered purity is perfect!
Andrew Brown

What a magic mushroom, love the detail. Beautiful image Sylvia.
Kitsmumma replied

Well apparently, if I eat it, it might be quite magic!! Thanks so much Andrew, I just love the look of these incredible things.
Jacky

Very nice POV….looks great !!:)
Kitsmumma replied

Thanks so much Jacky, much appreciated.
Jeremy Harrington

this is a fantastic macro shot Kitsmumma, brilliant work
Kitsmumma replied

Hey Jeremy, thanks for your kind comment, much appreciated.
Rhana Griffin

“The undersurface of the cap of a true mushroom is covered with narrow flanges called ‘gills’. In a young mushroom these gills are pink. As the mushroom matures they turn brown to almost black. Toadstools or poisonous mushrooms have gills that remain white throughout their entire life cycle.”

In short babe… if you are unsure… DONT EAT IT!!! Unless you have a penchant for dancing with pink elephants ;) xx
Kitsmumma replied

Thought as much Rhana, thanks for this. Can’t believe how gorgeous they were and huge…... I was never going to eat it, pure as it looked, just take it’s picture, hehe, I’m way passed my dancing with pink elephant days.

Superb shot!

This is an Amanita sp. Mushrooms and toadstools are both common names ( generally it seems though that toadstools refer to poisoness ones and mushrooms to those that are edible)- No shrooms should be eaten unless you know whats going on and even then at own risk.
but lovely shot.
i know its an amanita as the gills are white and not attached directly to the stem. It however could be a lepiota or something else it is hard to tell without other characters- so peoples again BEWARES.
I’m glad peoples are about appreciating fungi here as art and as organisms.- building knowledge is crucial.
Amanita as a genus contains some of the most deadly shrooms so far known.
i think i like it with black best but they both do work very well. enjoy your fungi hunt
Marc McDonald

Beautiful shot, and looks even better with the black frame! Nicely done!
Tom Vaughan

“Ethereal” comes to mind. Very nice. (I like the white frame).
Damian

That’s wonderful, love how you’ve got right in under it.
Megan Dacy

Very nice! I have a shot kind of like this!

Strange visibility—-the amazing texture of those fluted runnells of fungiform tissue . It has a visual texture like unto some sort of insulation material .
