Description
I've been endeavouring to learn at least a tad about the various Fungi living in this part of the world. After a few online pages, especially those written with such alarming insight by some extremely knowledgable folk on all things mushroom-like, I have, instead, decided to study Quantum Physics! ^=^
First page from knowledgeble gentlemen of the "I know much about mushrooms" fame.
"Pileus; Lamellae; Stipe - and Spores?" Okay, Spores I know!
Page 2: "matted-tomentose; fibrillose to sparsely squamulose" - at which point I gave up and reached for Stephen Hawkings tome of, as yet unpublished "How to split the atom - again!" ^=^
Back to image. These, I think (and if someone knows better, please feel free to enlighten this poor unqualified soul) - are of the Chlorophyllum family. The small chappie sitting atop the right hand cap is not! He's a very pretty Grasshopper, which I think is the Common Field type, (Chorthippus brunneus). I'd like to say I saw him, turned on camera and snapped. I didn't. In fact until I got this image onto the computer, I didn't even know he was there! It was a lovely surprise, I will admit.
I've not fiddled with this except ot resize it. I rather like the natural way these sat in the grass, which was, by the by, in the sand dunes on Par Beach.
Now I'm off to the beach again and shall play catchup later. ^=^
Thank you for taking the time to look. ^=^

Excellent find and capture! That's either a very small grasshopper or really big mushrooms. :)

AHHH Fungi and Mushrooms...i know all there is to know about them...simple. Unless it comes from tesco in a nice little shrink wrap bag.....under no circumsatnces pick it..lick it...or eat it....(ok on the last bit some might consider magics edible) Some foolhardy folks who think they have the knowledge to survive like our ancestors did, have gotten a few species confused and have had a least some interesting hallucinations and more than likely wound up in hospital or the mortuary... Great shot by the way.
