Lovely detail! We had mushrooms springing up everywhere, after two weeks of rain, recently. I wanted them to go away. It didn't even occur to me to photograph them -- but, actually, it was too wet to get down on the ground, where I would have wanted to shoot.

Mushrooms are another fascinating subject to photograph. You have done a great job of capturing these two. They are so small and only last a day or two. then they are gone. Well done Debbie, good eye.
