Fantastic light over and under these beauties, Songbird. I ate one that looked like these once. The effect was ENTIRELY different! #1168375

Alaska is a mushroom lovers dream. Like this one many are toxic. The red caps scream DANGER. Many are edible. #7850518

Very beautiful color and detail captured here, Songbird! Excellent light and composition and very well done! Our red tops here will make you sick if you just handle then so they are definitely a no-no. #7850853

Also known as the Aranita Muscaria. Lots of these in New Zealand and very poisonous. Excellent POV and nice detail on the gills. #9498452
