Living in the woods allows me to see many amazing mushroom growths right out my door. If you check my archives, you can find a few more. Last month, after a couple of extremely rainy days, a few of these quite large orange mushrooms sprouted up along the big bend in our driveway. I went out there a couple of times to be sure to catch them in all four stages of growth. The final phase of the mushrooms life wasn’t captured. It’s the stage where an almost four year old runs up to grab it like a lollipop and it falls apart in his hands. (I was major mosquito food while taking these pictures.)
It's my third daughter's birthday today, she's 10. Happy Birthday, Baby!

Things I’m Thankful to Cliff For… Getting the girls to smile during our family portrait with Serina.
Micki. Fantastic series of photos and wonderful colours. You are SO patient with your photography!
Great series! Mushroom fascinate me, but I only seem to see the same species everywhere. These are really cool. Congrats to your doaughter!
Happy birthday to your daughter!
I love mushroom shots. the ones I usually see around here aren't this pretty.
Oh Micki, that is a great sequence. You are getting pretty good with that macro thingie :)
Hello micki,
really nice serie of photos. I like them very much.
Seen you soon.
Regards.
Surely these things are poisonous!
Best wishes for the birthday girl! :)
Very cool set of shots. It's neat to see it in these stages of growth.
This is very impressive. Not just the excellent photography but the fact that you took the trouble to catalog this unfolding event.
Best wishes to the Birthday Girl!
i love series like that!
very well done!
Excellent series of colorful photos with great detail.
Wow, that's cool! What do they call a person who hunts mushrooms? I can never remember. Fun set of shots!
Nice series, beautiful red mushroom growing. Happy 10th birthday!
Loving the mushroom shots! Happy Birthday to your daughter. Mine is tomorrow!
Awesome time sequence shots Micki! What a great idea!
Nature is full of beauty, I love how you have devoted time and effort into a mushroom, and really show how it's developing. It's simply amazing to soak in the beauty in nature.
Great dedication in getting these shots.
I was mauled by mosquitoes whilst taking fungus shots last week so I can empathise with you there.
Hi Micki, really nice sequence! What is of course amazing about the mushrooms is that most of it is underground :) a lot of people don't realise that!
Best wishes Neil
Hi,
Very nice serie of pictures. It's a very good idea to shoot the developpment of the mushroom.
Happy birthday to your daughter.
Nice time lapse sequence. Excellent choice for subject and the colors are just great!
Great vivid colours Micki
the color really look yummy, but i think the most colorful is poison..right? they look like cherry!! great capture:-)
This is very impressive, love the colors and the various stages of growth. Awesome job.
Excellent 4-panel series - I can almost smell the earthy aroma of the forest floor :-)
I hope that the celebration of the decade (10 is a big one - finally into the double-digits) was enjoyed by all!
Wow what a great series! I love fungi photos anyway and this is awesome.
