Super images and quite 'fleshy'.
Beautiful Fungi!
Amazing colour and fantastic capture and find. I would avoid eating this for reasons you may have experienced but more so because it can be mistaken for Cortinarius violaceus and some in the genus of Cortinarius are deadly poisonous. Those have been known to kill human's and pets through the years. if you get a reaction to fungi poisoning it's not pleasant.. usually plenty of toilet visits with both ends very active.. in the most poisonous types they will destroy the liver and kidneys.. even when somebody who is poisoned feels that are getting better, this is often an illusion before the final curtain. People thinking of suicide by this means should think again... it's an agonising death and certainly not always fast.
Cool photo.
Cool capture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the ruffles! Charming things. I won't eat any mushrooms I didn't get at the store. Safer that way. :P
SO beautiful little shrooms in the nature. Very nice shots :)
Interesting shots!
Two superb views of a real gem specimen! It is beautifully structured from both views, EXCELLENT! It seems to be a very poor year so far for me on the fungus trail, a lot less than usual anyway.
Wonderful macros on all three pictures. Love the color on the flickr image. The underside looks a bit like brain coral.
Wonderful captures
The right one looks like a pretty flower!!
Those are beauties I like them both, the one on the right looks like a carnation ! :)
A most unusual colour I've never seen this one.
Something honey and I had planned but ran out of time as she is in the air right now bound for home. I am sad we missed the chance to do a fungi shoot. Oh well next year :)
Excelent !!!
beautiful examples
Nice shots... Aloha
Wonderful captures, Like the fly agaric, I'll pass on any free samples offered to me
cool looking
Ohhs and Aahhhs!
Why take any chances? Better to take photos and eat other varieties!
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
I like the underneath POV and the irregular gills instead the normal uniform gills. Maybe it is because of the twisted mushroom cap!
Nice find, well shot. I occasionally find these beauties here, but I haven't been spending enough time in the woods lately. Maybe it's time for a fungi expedition.
