Took me ages to shoot this, couldn't work out how to get low enough to the ground and still be able to see through the shutter and keep the camera still. Ended up covered in mud. Not the best toadstool photo ever - by a long stretch, but I'm pretty happy with the photo. PS these toadstools are only about 2-2.5cm high

24 hours old these toadstools are changing. not as bright coloured and they are losing their dots and frills

I took photos of this particular Toadstool with my camera mounted on my tripod..... 2 of the shots were 6 seconds apart, another 2 were 11 seconds apart..... when I looked at the images back at home I was amazed to see the left hand side of the toadstool is moving up and down in a waving action as if it were hinged, while the centre and right stays perfectly still. Some of the other images are blurred on the left of the toadstool with the movement while everything else in the image stays sharp! Thinking about it now the left hand side was disintegrating from underneath and you can see lumps of it on the ground.... It seems it was bouncing it's self to pieces, I wonder how it manages that?!

I made this pinny for my lovely sister-in-law Emma. I love this toadstool fabric.

Photographed on the bank of the River Torrens during the West End Brewery annual Christmas Display. In Adelaide, South Australia.

This is the view from below of the toadstool in Toadstool 2 photo. I couldn't get down low enough to see what I was shooting but just held the camera under the toadstool and hoped. Taken in Selly Oak Park, Birmingham.

We three toadstools overlook a flower meadow that was once a walled garden. The top end looked like allotments.

Record rains through parts of Texas during late summer and early fall of 2018 created ideal opportunities for fungi to develop. I don't know the correct species names but gave them descriptive titles, when possible. Some of them are beyond describing but are just weird and fascinating.

This is what the park looks like. Definitely not worth the drive to get there. The park gets its name from some rock formations that look like toadstools. None visible that I could see.

Found in the backyard...isn't it sweet?

Another shot from Toadstool Park north of Crawford, Nebraska.

Captured at Crook Hall Gardens in Durham. It was a pity that some hooligan had been running around using them as footballs.

These delightful needle felted children look so sweet.
