No, not on my canal walks this time ! I took a walk around nearby Gypsy Wood. I almost trod on this. My guess is, that this is the kind of mushroom / toadstool you just don't eat ! By the way, this is the first of hundreds of shots using macro that I have dared to submitt !! Comments please.

It's some sort of Russula mushroom. Some of this species is quite tasty I hear but some are really not so good to eat... And it's tricky to tell them apart so it's not something for the novice mushroom picker to try their luck on.

Actually, you can eat them, if it's what I think it is... The yellow ones however, are better for you than the red ones. I used to eat them all the time in Russia. But, then again, stuff happens. nice realistic capture.

He's trying to hide isn't he but his color sure gives him away. Glad you didn't 'clean him up' Stan. Very nicely done and glad you shared this one.

Nicely done my friend. There is a little soft focus on the shroom, but it's minor. Good work.

More does not always equal better.
