Intense rain seeping deeply into soil,
feeding creatures long left dormant.
Rising larger than life
from the spongy earth,
giving way to beauty unseen for ages.

Those mushy's look enormous ... are they?? Or is it the angle of the camera. Great 160
A beautiful bit of writing and great photo too.
I am surprised to see them growing there. I thought Fly Agaric grew in woodlands and were as rare as they are poisonous.
I haven't joined in for a while so thought I would today. :-)
here's - My 160 - Silence.
Muscaria? Parboil before tripping.
Those are some pretty stunning shrooms! When out walking in the woods, I always snap pics of the funky ones, too. :)
Nice 160, MM. Mine is HERE.
Brilliantly written ... and what an amazing picture! It's always a pleasure to see your 160's

mm, you have an artist's eye, is this your photo?
We had enough consecutive days of rain in Calif, I think I'm turning to mold. I've been disloyal, and rode the poetry bus this weekend. Had too much to say for 160.
see ya next week.

Beautiful photo of the mushrooms...
As per her request, here is a quick link to 5th Sister's Sunday 160....Click Me!
I have lived in the Pacific Northwest all my life and hadn't run across these mushrooms until yesterday. They typically only grow in deep forests in this area, but due to the spread of vaious mulch are now seen in urban areas. They were almost a foot across...and beautiful.
cute mushroom,
magical word painting,
insightful 160...
here is
Sunday 160
awesome specimen, love the colour - nice 160
here's mine
MM....
I've been accused of being a Fungi myself...:P
That was so beautiful. And, those mushrooms are handy--could be used as an umbrella in a pinch.
beautiful nature 160! Happy Sunday. Mine is at http://shewriting.blogspot.com/2010/11/manipulate.html

Yes the mushrooms do remind one of smurfs :) but the 160 sends chills down the spine (in a nice smurfy way)'feeding creatures'
yip, that's just how mushrooms are...
Ah ...there's a fungus among us!
Very clever post! Loved it.
