I found this next to a track while running on the hill. I stopped to take a couple of pics for my daughter but I liked this one enough to share it here. It's just from my phone. I don't know which variety it is. http://gallery.multi.net.nz/photo/1186/#peso Cheers, Dave

Nice perspective. Looks like you really got down in the dirt for that image.

Looks like you scared off the fairy! Nice shot. Looks like it's growing on a pile of rubbish. I understand that the species white underneath are likely to be poisonous.

It's growing through leaf litter. The top had a fair bit of dirt on it so wasn't particularly photogenic. I don't even like edible mushrooms so I just treat all mushrooms as poisonous. A while ago I read about a species that's edible but becomes poisonous if you eat it with alcohol. Speaking of fairies, on her birthday my daughter was given a nice little stuffed fabric mushroom (fly agaric, of course) with a pouch to hold teeth for the tooth fairy. She got to use it for the first time last week. Dan, the nice thing about the phone camera is that it's easy to take a low photo without crawling in the dirt myself!

Dave - when I saw Dan's comment I chuckled  and was about to comment as you did - yes, one good thing about a cell phone snap! Alan the white-underneath is not a sure thing one way or the other.. but the notorious Death Cap is white all over - trouble is that many edible mushrooms have inedible look-a-likes .  Happily in my area there are vendors at my farm market  that grow the most delicious ones and many varieties are sold in a number of our supermarkets. nice geometry, Dave ann On 6/11/2022 2:24 AM, David Mann wrote: > Dan, the nice thing about the phone camera is that it's easy to take a low photo without crawling in the dirt myself! > > Cheers, > Dave > >> On Jun 11, 2022, at 5:28 PM, Alan C <cole@lantic.net> wrote: >> >> Looks like you scared off the fairy!
