Was very happy to find a group of toadstools this year, as I had no luck the last two years.

Shot at 1:1 for my October macro challenge. I had to look quite hard to find a small enough toadstool...
This is a great pattern from doe-c-doe. It was really fiddly and I wish I had sewn it on thicker material. This is it before I took out the blue marks or ironed it.
I think I'm going to make it into a tote.
Stroll through a Toadstool farm. Wonderfully surreal place. Another photographer's playpen in Southern Utah I admired on a friend's Flickr photostream and had to see. Thanks OMT.
how cute are these little mushrooms (or toadstools) on this pillow? i drew and digitized them then sent them to my fab bernina to stitch out on linen. i just love old fashioned redwork. this is currently listed in my etsy shop.
A lone toadstool in the grass at Normanby Hall in Scunthorpe. This large specimen is seen here just next to a rotting tree stump - just out of shot to the right.
Antique book bought in Utrect. This is my favorite of all the mushrooms in my collection. The cover is so stunning! Looks to be litho or screen printed.
The Toadstools is a unique area near the Paria Ranger Station, about 40 miles east of Kanab. The toadstools themselves are sandstone formations that have a harder caprock that has protected a softer, more easily weathered tower. The towers range in height from a meter or two to 10+ meters.

Armillaria mellea (Vahl. ex Fr.) Kummer syn. Clitocybe mellea (Vahl. ex Fr.) Ricken Hallimasch, Armillaire couleur de miel, Tête de meduse, Honey Fungus or Boot-lace Fungus Cap 3–12cm across, very variable, convex then flattened and centrally depressed or wavy, yellow ochre, tawny, to dark brown, often with an olivaceous tinge, covered in darker fibrillose scales especially at the centre. Stem 60–150×5–15mm, often tapering towards the base, yellowish becoming reddish-brown at the base, initially with a thick whitish to yellow cottony ring. Flesh white. Taste astringent, smell strong. Gills white at first then yellowish becoming pinkish-brown and often darker spotted with age. Spore print pale cream. Spores elliptic, 8–9 x 5–6µ. Habitat in dense clusters on or around trunks or stumps of deciduous and coniferous trees and Hazel. Season summer to early winter. Very common. Edible when cooked but should only be eaten in small amounts as some forms are known to cause stomach upsets. Distribution, America and Europe.
The fungus spreads by long black cords called rhizomorphs resembling bootlaces which can be found beneath the bark of infected trees, on roots or in the soil where they can travel large distances to infect other trees. This is one of the most dangerous parasites of trees, causing an intensive white rot and ultimately death; there is no cure and the fungus is responsible for large losses of timber each year.
