I think this is a type of Agaricus Bisporus or commonly known as button mushroom.
You'll find this aplenty if you do a bit of hiking in New Zealand.
They taste yummy on pizzas by the way.
oh, the dof is the work of P&S Fuji F20.
A little bit about the history of buttons:
Buttons and button-like objects used as ornaments or seals rather than fasteners have been discovered in the Indus Valley Civilization during its Kot Yaman phase (c. 2800–2600 BCE)[1] as well as Bronze Age sites in China (c. 2000–1500 BCE), and Ancient Rome.
Buttons made from seashell were used in the Indus Valley Civilization for ornamental purposes by 2000 BCE.[2] Some buttons were carved into geometric shapes and had holes pierced into them so that they could be attached to clothing with thread.[2] Ian McNeil (1990) holds that: "The button, in fact, was originally used more as an ornament than as a fastening, the earliest known being found at Mohenjo-daro in the Indus Valley. It is made of a curved shell and about 5000 years old."[3]
Functional buttons with buttonholes for fastening or closing clothes appeared first in Germany in the 13th century.[4] They soon became widespread with the rise of snug-fitting garments in 13th- and 14th-century Europe. (Wiki)
Jenson Button going through Becketts at the 2014 F1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone. He's wearing a pink helmet in tribute to his father (and his lucky pink shirt) who sadly died this year.
old stuff...
my grandmother had jar after jar of buttons ...nothing left the house without her taking the buttons to save...I love going through her wonderful collection ..wondering the story behind each one !
I attached these buttons to a jumper I wore to hand out candy last Halloween. Just uploading it here for a friend who'd like to use the idea.
Tips for Pam: place the large buttons first and use the teeny buttons for the teeth and bridge of the nose! Click the "ALL SIZES" link just above the photo to see bigger versions to print.
Today will be one of my rare no-neckwear days. I have not worn this in awhile, but once every few weeks or so I do like to try the buttoned up look. I work in the morning and plan to meet with a friend for a late lunch. With the cold weather and early darkness of the season I do not have any other plans so I will probably have a relaxing evening at home. I like the contrasting white collar on this black shirt. I have an all-black shirt on order and look forward to some outfit combinations with it soon.
...Elle's Studio has some awesome new tags out just in time for Christmas! She asked me to showcase someof them...and let me tell you, they are gorgeous! These scalloped ones are great! i cut the center out, stitched some buttons on top, and mounted the back with a piece of patterned paper cut to match the outline of the tag. They'll look so cute on the tree this year! =) tfl!
I spent an afternoon at my mom’s the other day and browsed through her large stock of buttons, ribbons and old lace. A gold mine for a craft enthusiast! This is part of what I came home with. :-)
