On my walk this morning I came across this tiny umbrella of a mushroom. I tried to bend it over so I could look at the underside, forgetting that fungi don't bend the way plants do. The stem snapped, and I decided that since I had already doomed it, I might as well take it home to photograph. I have always been fascinated with mushrooms, and getting to study the tiny details of this one was so fun.
I love the structure of the gills underneath the cap. It seems so perfect, so engineered.
For size.
