The Toadstool Hoodoos in Grand Staircase Escalante. Very easy to find on Highway 89 West of Big Water and just a short walk from the road, unlike the Wahweap Hoodoos that we will see later.

A hoodoo (also called a tent rock, fairy chimney, and earth pyramid) is a tall, thin spire of rock that protrudes from the bottom of an arid drainage basin or badland. Hoodoos consist of soft sedimentary rock topped by harder, less easily-eroded stone that protects each column from the elements.
They are mainly located in the desert in dry, hot areas. In common usage, the difference between hoodoos and pinnacles or spires is that hoodoos have a variable thickness often described as having a "totem pole-shaped body." A spire, on the other hand, has a smoother profile or uniform thickness that tapers from the ground upward. (Geology purists do note that only a tall formation should be called a hoodoo; any other shape is called a 'hoodoo rock'.)[citation needed]
Hoodoos range in size from that of an average human to heights exceeding a 10-story building. Hoodoo shapes are affected by the erosional patterns of alternating hard and softer rock layers. Minerals deposited within different rock types cause hoodoos to have different colors throughout their height.

I have no idea what fungi these are but the honey coloured clusters on the fallen tree were beautiful in the autumn sunlight!
My creations for the toadstool swap. I made a big yo-yo for the top and, as my partner Lindsey pointed out, a hula skirt-like tuft of grass on the bottom to make sure it would stand up. I felt like my toadie was sort of lame compared to the one I received (yes, I was late sending mine!) so I made a little doll quilt for one of Lindsey's silly girls.

Pull up a mushroom cap and have a cup of tea with the resident fairy (handmade by Dannielle at Princess NImble Thimble).
Measuring roughly 10 x 12 " at the base, this cozy home made in the hollowed out stump of a tree, with a flagstone path and plenty of toadstools and wildflowers is made completely of wool through needlefelting.

In Shakespeare's day they used these stone "toadstools" to hold up things like hay ricks to keep them off the ground. Now they're in heavy demand as antiques and sadly at considerable risk of theft.
handmade from felted, repurposed wool sweaters. this soft toadstool stands about 4 1/4" tall and is 4" wide. it is lovingly sewn by both hand and machine and stuffed firm with 100% sheeps wool, and weighted with dried beans.
perfect for a woodland display, nature table or gentle play.
