A fairytale type mashroom I found near Queen Charlotte Sound (I did not find the dwarfs though).

The big one's diameter was about 20cm.

Toadstools growing through straw, Lake District, Nr Windermere

We've had some rain and I liked the tiny red toadstools that appeared today.

Same toadstools but they had opened

not sure what type of toadstool this is

This coral starts moving when I get close to it. You can see it move in this video.

This was taken off Long Island in Cham Islands just off Hoi An, Vietnam.

Toadstool coral, or leather coral (Sarcophyton spp.)

The genus Sarcophyton is comprised of several soft corals belonging to the Subclass Octocorallia and Order Alcyonacea. Depending on where you look, there are between 41 and 46 species altogether with all of them being commonly known as toadstool corals.

There are big swathes of these on Sid's land

I never did understand the North Pole = toadstools connection.

Tiny toadstools growing between cracks in the paving in my garden - and a pine cone - presumably from a passing squirrel! The autumn leaves were all blown into the garden overnight; the most colourful my garden has been in a while!

It was so wet that there were many mushrooms and toadstools beside the Curry Ridge Trail.

On our visit to the Toadstool Hoodoo, I had Ilford HP5 black and white film loaded in my Elan, which resulted in some interesting photos, with nice dynamic range. It was actually difficult to pick among a few candidates, but I liked this one for the detail on the rock and a pretty decent composition. This was taken a little after this shot, so the light was getting to be a little too harsh, but it was still acceptable.

Toadstools growing outside the Ouse Street entrance to the Victoria Tunnel in Newcastle.

An ant sitting on the roof of his house!

They have a kind of alien/silicon texture.

This toadstool had a pool of water around the top edge which was catching the light although it was actually in a very dark place.... hence the very shallow depth of field. Annoyingly I had no tripod with me that day due to sheer laziness!

Tatton Park Mushroom

Here is the project I made for the June issue of "A Time for Primitives" monthly online magazine. I have been wanting to make a Toadstool man for some time. It was a treat getting to meet him in person :-)

Toadstool Geologic Park. The Oglala Grasslands, NE.

Day 99 (99/366)

I went back to the local park today to shoot these. With all the recent rain there were plenty.

Thanks for stopping by!

yes, that's a coal train in the distance, and a storm to the south. Oglala National Grassland.

Seemingly one of the Woodtuft mushrooms. I'm not 100% on the species. Beautiful though. Care to lend your knowledge Dean?
