[Boy, I really phoned it in yesterday, didn't I? Blogging about a day-glo Polish statue of Lenin taking a leak.]
The mushrooms at the top were in my backyard a week or so ago. I love when they turn black--so beautiful. The other three pictures are from the Patuxent Wildlife Center in September. The book I just finished, The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert, has some wonderful passages about moss. I wanted to put one here, but unfortunately, I read an electronic library copy of the book and it's no longer on my Kindle. Another mark against electronic books (which I'll continue to read anyway because it's just so easy, and I'm all about easy).

That moss is a beautiful color! I don't like it in my lawn however. :)
Very pretty shrooms! Are the edible?
Beautiful ... I've been transplanting patches of moss to the yard, but very little has taken. I keep thinking that IF it grows maybe the chanterelles will follow. I can dream, right?
Zazzy: I don't know if they're edible -- KB would know. If she tells me they're edible I'll try them out next time I see them.
I think they are some sort of mycena ... ix-nay on edibility. But, oh so pretty.
