so beautiful in its natural habitat, better looking here than in tomato sauce. Edible??

Terrific close-up image of this colourful mushroom Christine.

Great find! I don't think I've ever seen one this color.

I have a way of describing autumn in Southern Ontario - it is the most fungal(y) time of the year...
And this captures that thought exactly:)

Beautiful color, the first time I see this kind of mushroom Christine, great macro . BV

Great macro - nice mushroom! Most of ours are gone now - got too cold I guess. BV

It's a pretty silver color. Almost looks metallic. This is one that would not tempt me to eat it. Not that I ever eat any not knowing which are poisonous. And this one is probably edible. :) Super close up and detail. V.
