I might have titled it: "Grimace, the Later Years"

 

[TwoRails]

That would work, too

 

[beni_hung]

What the heck it that? Oh, and nice perspective

 

[TwoRails]

That's a mushroom I came across

 

[Fjpanda]

Looks like a huge raisin.

 

[TwoRails]

LOL - Ya, a raisin I don't think I'd want to eat :shock:

There do exist mushrooms that look like this?
Whoa.
I never knew!
It'd FRIGHTEN me, if I ever came past one like those (unlikely to happen where I live, though, boy, no!).
Any hint as to its size??
Like this it looks HUGE in addition to looking frighteningly ugly (with an interesting COLOUR for it being a mushroom, though!).

Ya, almost spooky. - Below is a in-camera flash snap shot of a similar one I took about 5 months ago. It was getting pretty dark.

The one above is (was?) larger than the one below. Above was about the size of maybe a tennis ball. Those short brown items scattered all over are dried pine needles: they are typically about 3/4 - 1 inch long. Hope that gives you a better frame of reference.

I have now idea what they are called, so I call them "brain 'srooms"

Ya, pretty strange looking things! I'm fascinated by them. I don't see them often, either.

LOL! Good one!

Thanks! I've taken a few shots of them over a couple of years now (if I see any) and my earlier shots were pretty bad. Hopefully by the time I see some more, I'll better from learning here, and maybe I'll have some extension tubes or a macro lens which should help some. I want to do better
