After the touristy stuff, I had to get out in the desert a bit. This little hike with my sister in the Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument toadstool area near Page, Arizona turned out to be just the thing.... It was perfect -- only a couple of other people out there... I didn't have a map so I took a picture of the sign. Aren't digital cameras great!
This is a cute little hand-shaped art glass toadstool pendant.
From top to bottom the pendant measures about 15mm (21.5mm including the bail). The widest part of the cap is about 17.5mm in diameter.
White and red, topped with a sterling silver bail and decorative sterling washer, shaped like a toadstool, not much more to add, really! :)
The pendant is hung on a high quality sterling silver rolo chain.
Mushroom vs. toadstool
The relative sizes of the cap (pileus) and stalk (stipe) vary widely. Shown here is a species of Macrolepiota.
The terms "mushroom" and "toadstool" go back centuries and were never precisely defined, nor was there consensus on application.
The term "toadstool" was often, but not exclusively, applied to poisonous mushrooms or to those that have the classic umbrella-like cap-and-stem form. Between 1400 and 1600 A.D., the terms tadstoles, frogstooles, frogge stoles, tadstooles, tode stoles, toodys hatte, paddockstool, puddockstool, paddocstol, toadstoole, and paddockstooles sometimes were used synonymously with mushrom, mushrum, muscheron, mousheroms, mussheron, or musserouns.[3]
The term "mushroom" and its variations may have been derived from the French word mousseron in reference to moss (mousse). There may have been a direct connection to toads (in reference to poisonous properties) for toadstools. However, there is no clear-cut delineation between edible and poisonous fungi, so that a "mushroom" may be edible, poisonous, or unpalatable. The term "toadstool" is nowadays used in storytelling when referring to poisonous or suspect mushrooms. The classic example of a toadstool is Amanita muscaria.
went out to shoot 'autumn'... and grabbed some shots of some toadstools which were growing randomly at the side of the road, there were loads of them

Super Mario Style Power mushroom cupcake. Unfortunately I only had liquid foodcolouring and not gell so the icing is softer than I would like but H has loved making it with me. 1 up mushroom next
After a long, extremely bone-jarring drive on gravel, washboarded roads, we arrived at Toadstool Geological Park, billed as "the badlands of Nebraska."

Toadstool, mushroom, fungus... call it what you will. I've no idea what species it is but I thought it made an excellent photo.
