It has been unintentionally introduced to many countries in the Southern Hemisphere generally in pine and birch plantations and is now a true cosmopolitan species.

Spotted this toadstool and could just see a face in it so I thought I'd enhance the face for Sliders Sunday.

A night of time lapse and panorama was worth coming back for. After a brief RECON of this area in the day, I decided to return after shooting at Horseshoe Bend and Lake Powell. When I arrived at the Toadstools at 2030hrs, the sky was clear, but soon the clouds appeared, and the moon light followed with it. Thus, I got some time lapse of the rolling clouds and panoramas, and created this composite.
A friend [thank you Rachael] told me that she'd seen lots of these Fly Agaric [Amanita muscaria] mushrooms near Lockwood Beck reservoir. I visited, yesterday and got a few shots. These typical "Toadstools" are hallucinogenic if eaten but I couldn't help thinking that these looked like fresh Strawberries! Fungi are a photographic passion and I search for them every year, I find them fascinating and beautiful. The leaf, from a Beech tree, many fungi prefer Beech woodland.
A week of high temperatures followed by a week of steady rain has finished off the flowers in my area but these came up in a pot during the rain. All I can offer for "flora" this week! The weekend
task will be to replace all the potting mix and bag this for dumping.

Toadstools are just mushrooms which have a bad reputation. Often regarded as poisonous, they were linked to Witchcraft and given a wide berth. Fly Agaric {Amanita muscaria] are probably the ones most people would recognise but few ever see. The white spots can get washed off by rain and the "skirt" visible on the stem of the larger one is distinctive of this family which includes toxic varieties such as the Death Cap and Destroying Angel which are deadly. Others, such as these and the Panther Cap, will cause sickness and hallucinations.

The Toadstool Hoodoos in Kane County, Utah are impressive at any time during the day, but lit against a magical moonlit sky with a dash of milky way, they are a sight that will take your breath away.
Haven't been active at all here in a while, so here's a desert shot from last winter — The Toadstools area of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument in southern Utah.
Considering how infrequently I've been out with my camera, I thought I'd take a drive later this week to Arches. My birthday is falling around then, so I thought it would be a nice treat to myself. Woo.
