this is a photo i took of teensy little mushrooms. the tops were no bigger than a dime. i kept getting dew on my lens! but with mushrooms it is here today, gone tomorrow, so you need to take pictures while you can. those delicate little gills are all filled with spores. Ressurection Fern Blog has a cool tutorial on making spore prints. I did this in school. I need to hunt up some mushrooms and try again! Autumn seems like a good time for mushrooms. They like the damp (unlike me!)

they are so beautiful- like lacey little hats. I am enjoying the mushrooms a lot.

I love those! They remind me of seashells!
