Hello Janet!!! Such a wonderful, funny lady. The move was crazy, and the worst part, we are still living in a construction zone and will for a few more weeks. My office and studio have NOT been unpacked, in fact, they are jammed with everything that can’t be placed until construction is done. Our old router fainted at the thought of connecting to the internet via satellite … we just replaced it on the weekend. I miss you too and hope to be back on WordPress regularly by Wednesday. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE GIGGLE, Janet … I really, really, REALLY needed it.

Glad to hear that you are installed in your new home, even if being settled is weeks away. And you are surviving the big transition better than your router. Old equipment meeting new technology is just asking for trouble! Hang in there…just think of all the topics for blog posts you are living through!!!!

Nice light coming through the fungi, Cheryl.

Thanks, Carole … somehow a ray or two of sunshine found their way through the thick, green canopy overhead and lit up those ‘shrooms!

I agree with all the comments already posted and am trying to think of something else to say. Pellucid might be an appropriate word, or luminous. Luminous is better I think. And lovely.

Luminous is lovely since the `shrooms are not quite translucent! Thanks Elizabeth

Wow, Cheryl, gorgeous image of the forest floor. The contrast between curved lines and straight, slanted lines is wonderful.

Thank you, Mary Ann … I`m getting quite used to crawling around on that forest floor to get interesting shots 🙂

I love the light coming through the gills, making the mushroom glow, and echoing the color of the leaf. And the twigs frame the mushrooms while adding another touch of that same reddish-orange-ish color in the leaf and mushroom. Your eyes found another winner!

Thank you, Janet … I gingerly moved some twigs off the `shrooms with that leaf to clear them for the shot … touching ground fungi can be harmful!

I love the way the light is *on* inside the mushroom. Makes me imagine fairies going about their business. [I should mention that I have a thing for fairies and mushrooms being connected. And no, I have not ingested a quantity of the ‘wrong’ kind… although one may be forgiven for thinking so.] As usual, Cheryl, your eye finds magic!

A lovely composition Cheryl. The red spotted leaf contrasting with the white white mushrooms with the tiny contrasting spots and the light shining through the delicate underside of the mushroom all add up to a lovely composition.

Thanks, Gilly, I liked the way one ray of sunshine broke through the layers of foliage and struck these lighting them through and through from the top.

“A caution!” yes — that’s exactly the impression it gives.

When I was composing the shot, Barbara, I used that leaf to nudge away bits of flotsam. Intuition not to touch? Or perhaps a lesson as a child remembered by body not brain?

Oh, lovely. How they glow! They look so pale and seductive (and, I suspect, lethal???) Like the first chapter of a beautiful and rather sinister story: and that red-spotted leaf is the clue.

My research didn’t reveal anything useful, like a name or whether it was edible. There is an entire community of gorgeous fungi on the walking trails we carved through the bush up north. Good eye, Barbara … the red leaf does make an interesting ‘caution’ … poisonous mushrooms can be as harmful by simply touching as ingesting.
