Curvy mushroom

This mushroom had some "fun" characteristics including it's curvy stem. I have photo'd several types of mushrooms with jagged edged tops. This one was very sweet.

I wanted to emphasize the structures, so I made it an art project. Hope you like it.

I like all the contrast and the setting of mushroom against the green leaves. I presume that "sweet" is not a flavor description. :wink:

Lucy,

Very sumptuous textures in this. I'm wondering what a tighter crop (removing some of the gray rock in the LRH corner) would do for the image. The greens are wonderful.
