Shaggy ink cap: debut and development
The sweet beginnings of a shaggy ink cap mushroom, having just pushed up from the earth. Just a few cm in height. Soon the bell- shaped cap will open out.
I wanted to record this initial stage before the stalk grew and the more classic mushroom shape development began.
I've learned some truly interesting words along the way, one of which is 'puhpowee'....a Native American Algonquian word for the force that causes mushrooms to push up and appear overnight.
