Chocolate Mushroom [EXPLORE] #6!! TYVM!!

[best appreciated at full size against black]

We have a few types of mushrooms that I see most commonly on our property, and this is one of them. Nearly black on top, with chocolate-colored gills underneath, their caps often have jaunty up-turned edges that positively demand a photograph! :D
