Hi Pat... It is that time of year again...when we photograph our fall 'toadstools'...;o) I did a little research.... and learned that there really is no significant difference between them...the 'toadstool' and the 'mushroom' except to say that primarily...toadsstools...are poisonous...and that 'some' mushrooms are edible......However..they both belong to the 'family' of fungi..... Of course... scientifically there is much more to learn...but simply said..the above is sufficient for most people....So Pat...this is a fresh 'toadstool' from MI...and I want to know if your Canadian specimens can win the blue ribbons this yr.... ;o) Just teasing you my dear...as we started this competition last yr...or..at least I did.. Your offering of last yr..was pretty special..you know.....Are you on my friend?....all in fun...of course... Marilyn

Well, I hope she is up for this competition and picks up the gauntlet, but this upload is some pretty stiff competition, Marilyn. You've done a lovely job by surrounding the shrooms with those fall colors. I'm going to be looking forward to the answering call!!

Another fantastic peek into Autumn images.

Great colour and texture. Lovely composition and a great idea in the first place!

Aha, you're looking for a little competition are you, lol, well I'll see what I can do tho' I must say you've started out with a tough act to follow with this post, Marilyn...a real beauty here and especially surrounded with the seasonal decor of the fallen leaves...I'll enjoy the fun of searching and trying to win the 'blue ribbon'...now I'd better be off as I have my work cut out for me.
