M is for Magnificent Mushrooms (+ 18 insets)
(+ 18 insets above in notes!)
I have been arguing with myself until this moment where this picture should go: "W is for Wonderful White" or "M is for Magnificent Mushrooms". But M just HAS to be for Mushrooms, right?! Yes, I have many pictures of mushrooms, but this one stands out from all the rest. So, with this upload, the matter is finally settled!
These mushrooms are called Ivory Waxy Caps, but they are also known by the name "Cowboy's Handkerchief" because the droplets and moisture you see are actually slime that oozes from this fungus to keeps it hydrated and also serves as a deterrant to any wildlife which might be considering these mushrooms for a meal. I hope that I never encounter a handkerchief used by a cowboy. *shudder*

And,,,, they ARE your hearts love !
Beautiful !
It's been fun catching up with your alphabet!!
Absolute perfection, Janet!:)
These really stand out with that lovely silky white colour, they have a beautiful sheen on them. The others in the series are equally excellent. You are really lucky to have all these near to you :)
There are so many photos in the little boxes on the main photo that there's not mushroom for any more (sorry)!!
Terrific Shot!!
