James And The Giant Mushroom

I did find this mushroom on a recent camping trip. It was the size of a grapefruit and the setting sun gave it the perfect lighting. The sequel to the book 'James and the Giant Peach'. Okay, I made that up. I did find this mushroom on a recent camping trip. It was the size of a grapefruit and the setting sun gave it the perfect lighting.

What a wonderful shot! The grass over its top confused me and gave me a weird first impression of mushroom in a bubble...

It was very huge! It was on a hill, so I could get low on the shot. This is a macro shot as well. Overall, the size of the mushroom was about 6-7 inches tall and wide.

It was a very windy day and I was holding the grass and weeds back with my freehand, but I let one blade slip through for this photo. This was the best photo of the group set.
