I guess the stump is a toadstool stool.
Mary MacADNski: Think of all the fairies who might be dancing round this stool.

Brilliant.
What a superb picture of the whole familiy Mushroom.
This old, decaying tree-stump is proving to be very useful.
Mary MacADNski: A fungi family out for the day at the fast food joint. That's where these are - next to the parking lot of a Wendy's. Glad they know the decaying tree stump definitely would provide the better nutrition.

Terrific shot.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Aussie. Mushrooms always make good shots.
Nice ! Do you know if they can be eaten smile In this case you've no need to go to supermarket for a time smile
Mary MacADNski: I don't know if these are edible or not. There certainly are lots of them.

What a fantastic group of mushrooms, the decaying stump is very good food for them obviously.

Funny thing is I am just cooking some mushrooms at this very moment for breakfastsmile
Mary MacADNski: Believe it or not this is against the parking lot of a fast food restaurant.

'I won't give up' could apply as well. Interesting how the long dead tree still nourishes other life forms.

Sharp detial, nice mushrooms.
Mary MacADNski: Symbiotic, my friend. It works well.

The 4 years I spent living in the Appalachian region of Tennessee left me with such an appreciation and love folk music. "I'm Not Afraid to Die" by Gillian Welch is a prime example of why. Have you listened to Natalie Merchant's "The House Carpenter's Daughter?" Same soulful sound. The little mushrooms in your picture look cheerful. Nice one, Mary!
Mary MacADNski: I will check out that Natalie Merchant song. Thanks.
Village for small people ! smile great photo !
Mary MacADNski: It looked so neat there by the parking lot. It belonged in the country but was here at the fast food joint. Thanks, Ferdi.

Bravo Mary, the colours are so great!! and the mushrooms so beautifull, nice capture (again)
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Astrid. I love taking shots of mushrooms.
You have found a great amount of together mushrooms! The surroundings are precious!
Mary MacADNski: Many and at the parking lot of a fast food restaurant.

I've seen/heard Gillian Welsh in concert, Mary, so this song is soulful to me as well (as Kathryn!) and is so perfect for this photo. It makes a good sermonette, I think!
Mary MacADNski: Lucky you and it is a great song....especially for the photo of a tree stump and the symbiotic relationship with the fungi.
What a gorgeous composition. The fungi and beautiful, and it is lovely to see them in context with the tree stump. Colour is wonderful, too. (:o)
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Rosalyn. It's an example of a wonderful symbiotic relationship.
Welcome to stumpworld, teeming with life. Nature wastes nothing.Nice shot Mary, nice song too.
Mary MacADNski: Just realized that it's only two days ago that I had another stump in my post. Can't get this girl out of the woods.
Toadstool skyscrapers, could be another world in theer. Well seen.
Mary MacADNski: I KNOW there's another world in there, Les, and it is wonderful. Alice said so.
Wow! Great immage!
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Antonella. I take lots of photos of mushrooms along with all those photos of cats.
I don't think I've ever seen such a perfectly formed froup of fungi - a veritable fairy metropilis!! Fab. Mike
Mary MacADNski: The best thing is - it was at the edge of a parking lot of a fast food restaurant - not the woods where I spend so much time.
