October 20

Unexpected

After a recent heatwave we had two days of cool weather and last night and this morning rain.
I was surprised to find these two (plus visitor) in our front yard this morning.

P.S. My friend Ulli from Germany informed me that these Mushrooms are edible. Too late, our gardener them over with a lawnmower this morning.

So well detailed! V

Pretty unusual for San Diego, I'd guess. And you had a real treat right in your yard. Excellent catch before the mower. V

A terrific image. The slug almost looks beautiful. V

Great find, Walter. ~V

The slug seems to love them... Great find and photo, Jim! Irene

Such fascinating details V

Fine capture Walter! It's a Macrolepiota species and edible indeed. You can bake them like a schnitzel V Slugs are fond of most mushrooms. My last mushroom image is a Macrolepiota species also:http://www.pbase.com/calopteryx/image/166429546

They do look the edible type... never mind, you'll know next time! v

They look like two beautiful (and delicious!) flowers waiting to be picked. Lovely image!

Bryan Murahashi		21-Oct-2017 04:38
Great catch with that slug looking for its first bite.

a lovely find and great capture.V.

They look very appealing and also almost edible....but yechhhh... that slug definitely puts a damper on those thoughts! Super capture! V

Excellent close-up! ~V~

At least the slug got a meal before the mower.

Gill Kopy		21-Oct-2017 01:14
They look like what we call puff balls here and are great cut into cubes and added to soups and other dishes. Neat shot V

Lovely shot! It is remarkable how mushrooms spring up overnight! Slugs love them. V

bill friedlander		21-Oct-2017 00:09
It is surprising how fast these pop up. Great exposure for the whites. V

Parasol, die kannst du essen, allerdings nicht die spanische Schnecke ;-)

Jim Coffman		20-Oct-2017 23:15
Nice capture, Walter! I am always amazed at how these show up suddenly!

Kim		20-Oct-2017 23:09
Wonderful details and tones in this great close up shot! V

globalgadabout		20-Oct-2017 22:55
like albino knish pastries...can't fault the slug for testing the taste...odd how mushrooms/fungi pop up and then quickly disappear...good you are on the alert here..
