Look what I found in the grass today when I went to mow the lawn! I immediately thought: "Mushroom Soup!" I love mushroom soup. But I am smart enough (I think) that I know the difference between mushrooms and fungi. This is fungi. So there will be no mushroom soup today. I was astounded when I turned this over and looked at the detail underneath. I guess I have never looked carefully under a fungi before. Isn't this an amazing structure? I couldn't believe it when I looked at it through the close-up lens.
A very creative and interesting picture of the mushroom. It shows how artistic nature can be.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! What is the diameter? The photo makes it look quite large.

It is 3 feet in diameter! Can you believe that? Just kidding!!! It is only 3 inches in diameter. Hard to tell from the photograph, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteSome artists have experimented with gently inking the underside of mushroom heads and using them to create some very interesting prints.
