This little fly was setting on the edge of a toadstool, soaking up the sun to warm up. Taken at Christian Renewal Center.

Ich entdeckte diesen Fliegenpilz im Herbstwald. Wundervolle warme Farben.
I found this toadstool in the autumn forest. Wonderful warm colors.
I looked it up and apparently there is no scientific difference between mushrooms and toadstools... well, I didn't know
that! This little one is alone in the dampest, and often most interesting, part of our garden. Last year they grew in abundance. This year I struggled to find any!

I love mushrooms but I don't think these are edible. Photo was taken from the park.

LOL! Nature has its funny side.
This column remains after all the softer sandstone has eroded away from eons of weathering.
The Toadstools, east of Kanab, Utah.
toadstool - My husband and I both took photos of the toadstool - we both agreed we had never seen one like this in the wild only in books. This was in the forest at Grizdale in the Lakes.
A recent shot of a toadstool taken in Whinfell forest Cumbria.
Sorry for the gap between publishing images, I have kept shooting, have a fair few to post, but have been busy with work and family.

The Panhandle of Nebraska is full of scenic beauty, the Toadstool Geologic Area is one of those places. Located along the Pine Ridge, where the endless prairie hits a speed bump.

The Toadstool
Oliver Wendell Holmes
THERE 's a thing that grows by the fainting flower,
And springs in the shade of the lady's bower;
The lily shrinks, and the rose turns pale,
When they feel its breath in the summer gale,
And the tulip curls its leaves in pride,
And the blue-eyed violet starts aside;
But the lily may flaunt, and the tulip stare,
For what does the honest toadstool care?
She does not glow in a painted vest,
And she never blooms on the maiden's breast;
But she comes, as the saintly sisters do,
In a modest suit of a Quaker hue.
And, when the stars in the evening skies
Are weeping dew from their gentle eyes,
The toad comes out from his hermit cell,
The tale of his faithful love to tell.
Oh, there is light in her lover's glance,
That flies to her heart like a silver lance;
His breeches are made of spotted skin,
His jacket 'is tight, and his pumps are thin;
In a cloudless night you may hear his song,
As its pensive melody floats along,
And, if you will look by the moonlight fair,
The trembling form of the toad is there.
And he twines his arms round her slender stem,
In the shade of her velvet diadem;
But she turns away in her maiden shame,
And will not breathe on the kindling flame;
He sings at her feet through the live-long night,
And creeps to his cave at the break of light;
And whenever he comes to the air above,
His throat is swelling with baffled love.
Get that powerup star luv!

I didn't have a DSLR along on yesterday's "mushroom mania" hike and had to rely on an iPhone. Today we completed a different section of the trail with camera in tow and as luck would have it, saw very few fungal features - except for these little guys hiding in the shadows. The toadstool fairies were smiling, though, and for a few minutes, there was just a little sunlight coming through the branches to give me a bit of warm light. I think these are Golden Trumpets - or so our "Pocket Guide to Familiar Mushrooms" would suggest.
