A fungus among us

nature
I take a lot of mushroom photographs, mainly because I think they're interesting. But I think this one is beautiful. Yes, you can call me crazy, but take a close look at this. This is a mushroom whose cap has turned all the way upwards, revealing the intricate underside. It won't last long this way, I'd venture to guess. And I'm lucky to have seen it today.

That IS beautiful. I always find them so mysterious -- the way they pop up seemingly overnight.

Enjoy your day!

I love the waves of lines on the under side!
I've never seen one do this!

Oh, I LOVE to take shots of mushrooms too! This is SO NEAT! I've never seen on turned up like this. What a unique underside it has.

Great shot!!
