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)

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 trawled some charity shops and really scored big time with some fab items (pics to follow) however these are my favourite finds of the day - soooo many cute buttons!!! Rabbits Toadstools Ducks Flowers - Why would you not want these!!
My first try at a button fairy. Had lots of fun putting it together and coming up with ideas for wings!
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.

Our little Poppy (Popsicle) ... trying on yet another "look" ... this time, a medium length pink mohair !??!
and wearing a VERY special PINK HAT that we received from Christine <3
Christine, of Forty Winks Doll Studios ... who also customized Poppy ... AND who, along with Mandy, included me in the "Think Pink Traveling Blythe" named HOPE Campaign earlier this year ...
sent me this specially made pink version of one of Andie's (Little Ditzies) hats ... and although I did not do a great photographic close-up this time of the gorgeous details ... the little button says "Hope" !
THANK YOU Christine, it was my pleasure !! We enjoyed every single moment of Hope's visit (as you KNOW!!) :) ... and we feel truly blessed to have this special memento to remember it always :)

TODAY'S BLYTHE-A-DAY theme is:
PRETTY ~ IN ~ PINK ... and what a wonderful theme this is for our Blythe girls!!! I have enjoyed looking at everyone's entries ... it is nearly impossible for anyone to not look ... PRETTY in PINK !!
I found Poppy's special outfit (top, shorts, socks (backpack and tennis shoes not shown) ... at the 99 Cent store! Seriously! It is from the now-defunct "B.F.C. Ink" 10" dolls ... (Best Friends Club) ... who also made 18" "American Girl" size dolls and outfits.) We found quite a FEW different packages of fashion outfits, each one including shoes, accessories, and they ALL fit Blythe!
(For reference: Poppy has a Licca body... The tops would probably fit pure neemo, but shorts/pants would be too small for the pure neemo thighs ... shoes are ample size.)
[ The pink canvas rubber-toe shoes Poppy is wearing in this photo are by Ruby Red. ]
You know I like to share our "treasure finds" with you all ... so if you are near a 99 Cents Only Stores (the purple sign ones), THIS is where we scored these awesome fashion sets !! ONE DOLLAR!!!
:)

For Macro Mondays theme - Button(s)
Walthamstow, East London, UK
the macromonday theme is worn/weathered. i had a lot of fun doing this topic :)
ODC "part of the whole"
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.
A hectic day, been at Hampton Court Flower show & was far to laid down with picnic, baby, and baby paraphenalia, not to mention the plants we bought, to bother with the camera.
So we have a button shot for the scavenger hunt. It looks a lot more peaceful than the reality here
a little mixed media art work, stimulated by my old button jar... finally my 'elefant' button (top) found its place -- vintage textile, leather (color more teal in reality), metal, horn, gold leaf, stone, wood
HMM the macromondays' theme for today is wheels. this brass button is one from a collection my mom had for a craft project :)
ANSH scavenger3 Button/buttons
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. :-)
Blogged here:

Macromondays theme - In a row
Mary, Mary quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids “all in a row”.
This traditional English nursery rhyme is purported to refer to the elder daughter of Henry VIII, Mary Tudor, first Queen regnant. Also known as Bloody Mary, she was a devout Catholic. The silver bells and cockle shells are said to be references to the instruments of torture used on her protestant enemies and the maids are variously described as references to her lack of progeny, her husband’s mistresses or the many beheadings carried out in her name.
My pretty maids are the rows of stitches and the sleeve detail row of buttons, on a sweater I finished yesterday. HMM!
