Deep in the rainforest ...

we found this old, dead tree covered in life once more.
It was very dark in there but I like the way the old tree fades from view in the darkness ...

and a couple toadstools......

but it is a neat log and I can see why you took it. I once took close to 10 shots of a log. None of which I liked :headslap: but this one looks so soft with all the moss.

Looks like it would be on a video game..where the character would be sliding into the unknown! :)

Send me the jumping squirrel thanks Michael :)

Thanks for those comments folks.

The little golden tops get you excited did they M?? ;) I don't think these are the magic shrooms you are looking for!

And even if they were the airline ticket to retrieve them would be way out there.So I'll just live with the seventies memories:evil2:

My memories of those mushrooms is when a mate died from an overdose from his 'tea' one morning. I knew him a short while really and it's a wonder he made it that far. I can proudly and somewhat naively say that I never took illicit drugs of any kind.

Nope. Aren't them. First of all, the real ones are found in the northern hemisphere. And they grow in grassy fields, not in the forest. I'm not going to guess which species is on the picture, but it's probably best not to eat them... ;)

Love the pictures though MA. You make some great nature shots! :)

Thanks 42

We get those Gold Tops in the southern hemisphere as well ... in Aussie at least.
