Soooo fascinating. It’s been wet here in NC, by which I mean it rained for more than 20 minutes at a time in between hot sun.  This dampness means … mushrooms, LOTS of mushrooms, and so many different varieties.  I never pick and eat them, although some look mightly tasty and some look frankly obsene.  Those are my favorites, pictorially.

This little beauty was enhanced with Jazz, at least 3 effects which I can’t remember any more, I just jacked things up and down and cropped until it looked amazing.  And then stopped editing.  You reach a point of diminishing returns. With extreme closeups, I like to get it to where it has an ambiguous look.  When it looked like hardened lava, I knew I was done.
