Computer geek extarodinaire, I love to tinker with gadgets and tech items to get them to do what I want. I'm either logically artistic or artisically logical. I'm also rude, crude, semi-barbaric, socially unacceptable, and totally psychotic. On the bright side - I am potentially harmless. I'm currently trying to write some short stories about the fae as well as a novel on those same fae as well as two other novels. The programs I have for photo and image editing are: Photoimpact from Ulead, Adobe Photoshop 7 and Corel Paint Shop Pro 2X. Recently I've added DAZ Studios as well as Terragen, Blender and Google Sketch to my list of programs crowding my hard-drive.  All this and much more on an old Pentium III 450 with 396 Megs of memory and operating Windows XP. It does get interesting at time.As of December 26, 2008, I have added Vue 7 Pioneer to my list of reason of why I'm going insane.
As of January 2010 I upgraded to a new HP 2 dual core processor with 6 gigs onboard mem with 4 gig powerboost and 2.07 terabytes of Hard drivesMy email is faemike55@gmail.com

When I was a kid, we had a small hobby farm in the family. By small I mean 5 cows etc! It was about 50 acres or something, but it had beautiful woods in which to explore. As kids, we used to find mushrooms all the time, cook them up and eat them without giving a thought as to if they were poisonous. Maybe Aunty was checking them as she helped us! But anywaz, I would never be brave enough to eat any I don't buy these days after the horror stories you read in the paper of people dying slow, painful deaths from eating the wrong kind.

I have just checked out all your pix from the hunting trip, you are a very man, to visit the unknown ? glad you had a friend with you! but then there are the rewards of eating game, there is nothing that tastes better, IMHO ... I am just imagining eating game with a mushrooms sauce, potatoes and red cabbage - YUM ;) Half your luck Mike and BTW a scrumptious looking image BB

mushrooms must be one of the plants on earth with so many varieties. superb macro
Desgar
They're glistening. Was this after a shower, or a visit by snails?

I've never seen mushrooms this slick and shiny looking! I'd be really afraid to eat those - like Mike (mrestey) said, they're too pretty to not be toxic! Another cool capture, Mike!
ronmolina

I think Mark has the correct ID, difficult to be precise about exactly which Russula without pics of the stipe and gills, but do NOT eat!!!
wysiwig
This looks like the Russula emetica, commonly known as the sickener, emetic russula, or vomiting russula. From the alternate names you can probably guess that you were smart not to eat it. It could also be a related fungus called the Russula silvicola which is only slightly less poisonous. Looks like they got rained on. Sweet capture.
Radar_rad-dude
They look pretty juicy! Excellent capture, Mike!
jayfar
This is a super find and capture Mike.
