Big 'Shroom

This fun guy

caught my attention by sheer size.

Each of those little yellow flowers

is about the size of a quarter;

the head of this mushroom

was at least 8" in diameter.

The yellow flowers are viridis

aka euryops pectinatus,

known colloquially as 'daisy bush.'

Front Yard Mushrooms

Of all the front yards

in all the world,

these mushrooms picked mine

to show up in.

They were tiny.

Their canopies no larger than a dime.

Nestled as they were

among the pine needles,

the eucalyptus leaves,

and the mulch,

they were real

attention-getters,

practically screaming out

in their squeaky imaginary voices,

"Me! Me! Take my picture!"

So, you see,

I couldn't help it.

The voices told me to do it.

Stunning 'Shroom!

Can't put a name to this amazing

hunk of mushroom,

but it is truly remarkable

and eye-catching.
