Of course this was made 100% MF.

Found it on my way back home from a forest walk. It was so nice, the sun wa shining. But I was so tired. I'm happy that I took the time to make this picture.

Orio You're right I never thought of that. Almost enough to put one off eating mushrooms?

I mean don't they look like two hands and forearms?

Fungus arms. A bit daliesque, like coming out of a wall Very Happy

Very strong imagery guido. I like it.

@Patrick: stopping eating fungi? No way! Laughing

Lovely shot - I love the warm background against the green moss.

If working at a mushroom farm to help pay my way through university didn't put me off fungi, nothing will Wink
