Did you dig a big hole in the ground so you could look up at them from below? ;)

Maybe he's really a leprechaun.

As for being a leprechaun, I'm over 65cm, I think I don't qualify ;)

Sometimes, you get just wild dreams (= hallucinations) and sometimes it's simply the end…
I'm 100% with you, better be safe and hungry than face dire consequences!

Several times on the walk the two of them got into fairly intense arguments about the identities of some of the mushrooms we had come across.

They did agree on the Chantarelles we found, and the fresh-picked sauteed Chantarelles were the best I've ever tasted.

But those arguments... We would NEVER trust ourselves to eat a mushroom that we had found in the wild.

Once upon a time, while training SAR dogs in the forest, we noticed that the "victims" were distracted and not lying "dead" where they should have been.
They had discovered and were collecting mushrooms!!
Just anecdotic. They shared ;D

Finally found the image I was looking for. I think the cell phone is ideal for extreme close ups and getting under subjects such as mushrooms. Not as sharp as I wanted. I try to avoid handholding now.
