Mushroom Underside

This was a shot from September - the same day I found the purple mushrooms.

We sometimes walk backwards on An Island Walk.

Ah! Purple Mushroom Day!

Now...you wouldn't be hallucinating, would you, Mary?

Mary MacADNski: I've finally come down, Ray, and I'd better lift my head up from this sight.

I love mushrooms but dare not risk picking the wrong ones to eat.

Mary MacADNski: I have ones I know for sure. Other than that I only use the camera to get a taste.

A pal of mine knows which ones to pick and eat...I must get him to show me one day!

Mary MacADNski: I am ok with ones I know for sure. All others only the camera gets to taste.

Mary MacADNski: I am ok with ones I know for sure. All others only the camera gets to taste.

Amazing things aren't they Mary - we get lots after damp conditions at this time ofyear

Mary MacADNski: I love mushroom season. This was over a month ago. They're pretty well gone now.

A great point of view Mary. Quite fascinating!

Mary MacADNski: It was late in the season and underneath seemed more interesting.

Ha..how long did it take you to get back up again Mary. A real worms eye view. Well done.

Mary MacADNski: LOL I'll never say. It does happen and worse every year.

What a great looking Mushroom Mary. You have captured this wonderfully.

Mary MacADNski: I got shots from every angle. This is the worm's eye view.

Excellent close-up Mary, I presume you didn't try it out for flavour though.

Mary MacADNski: No, I only pick chanterelles to eat as a rule.

A great shot, Mary. Did you have to scrunch way down to get it?

Mary MacADNski: Ha, at least you didn't ask if it was hard to get back up, as someone did. LOL Actually I did, and put the camera on the ground.

What a strange thing this is. Have you any idea what sort of toadstool it is?

Mary MacADNski: No, I can't remember the top, nor am I schooled in identification.

great picture, mary! i like this unusual perspective very much.

Mary MacADNski: Thanks, toffi. I take lots of mushroom photos and some from this perspective are more interesting than the tops.

Great perspective!

Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Hydrospheric. You have to get your knees wet and dirty for your art.
