I am not sure why but I love these mushrooms and in all my years of beautiful fall hikes I have never been able to find any.
That changed today...Today we found many! Lots of them had imperfections but I didn't care...I just snapped and snapped and snapped until I was left behind and had to run to catch up with everyone else. I am almost tempted to go back tomorrow while the girls are at school/daycare and take more time getting better shots :)
We'll see...perhaps I have enough photos for now...I was just sooo excited!!!
Yes I did manage to take a few other photos as well...

I am so happy to have Muscaria mushrooms off of my list of things I want to photograph some day...(still working on Polar bears) and will still of course photograph more in the future :)

Those photos are fabulous! I've never seen one of these in the woods myself, but they are the quintessential mushroom, aren't they? Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you verdemama! I have been searching for years to find one to photograph and was amazed at how many we saw. They really are beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteDo you know how to tell if they are poisonous? I've always wondered how you tell.
