I was chatting with my eldest niece yesterday and for some reason the conversation included the thought of going around and taking pictures of mushrooms.  She and her entire family enjoy mushrooming (and consuming whatever edible versions they find).  I'm not a mushroom person ("Icky fungus.  Blah!").  For me, it would strictly be from a visual perspective.

A year or two ago I was driving along 3-Mile Drive at the Arboretum when I saw a large patch of white under a tree.  I pulled into the next parking lot and walked back to find some rather large mushrooms.  I like the mix of textures and the contrast of the white and the previous outer skin.

I have no idea what kind of mushroom they are.  I'm sure they're poisonous, but have less than no interest in eating one to find out. Mushrooms
