Description


----
Made this discovery today on the same tree stump on which the other one grew. At least at this point it kind of reminds me of a human BRAIN!
---
I think this one is way prettier; blushing and plump. It's about six inches at the widest point. I suspect it will be about 50% larger before it dries up.
-----
Shot this with my iPhone 4.
