8/16/04 - 'Shrooms Today

Germantown, MD

I went for a walk in the woods today.
It was cool and calm, yet the sun shown through.
There were blooms, roots, thistles and more.
But what caught my eye for my PAD today
Was a homely and lonely old shroom.

Trouble is, I'm not sure which image I like best.

Agaricus Campester. It not only looks like the good old "bought in store mushroom", it is indeed the same type of mushroom. This one is harvested in the nature while those in the stores grow in elevations.

Y'know, I don't really know what it is, but it looks pretty much like a plain ol' store-bought mushroom. I'll just taste it and ..... uh oh!

Oh this is good! I like it, sharp focus and nice big shadow!

Think this is my choice for the wonderful earthy color, but the B/W comes a close second. Hope Lou chimes in here (unless you can) about what they are.
