[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Yesterday, while at a church BBQ, I happened to see this mushroom growing at the table near where we usually eat. It reminded my wife of the marshmallows we used to toast in our fireplace with the kids... hence the title here.

I have no idea what kind of mushroom this is, so any help at identification would be appreciated... fungi were never my strong point.

Have a great Sunday everyone... spend some time with Him in His fantastic creation... :)

Hi Lary. I do like this close up of the large Fungi. I am sorry i can not help with the ID. You have good detail and colours. with a good top POV so we can see the markings. Looks like a large loaf of bread to me. well done TFS.

Hi Larry,

Your wife is so right! Reminds me of the marshmellows we used to put on a stick and hold over a campfire. I can just imagine taking a bite out of it and being rewarded by the gooey sweetness. This close-up of the fungi is wonderful with your always fine details and natural colors. The beautiful greenery in the background sets it off well. Nicely composed shot.

Not sure what kind of fungi this is Larry, but you've posted a wonderful image of it. Very sharp and finely detailed. Great DOF!

I am wondering how I missed this one...but none the less I see it now and only because it stuck out so much with its patterns in organic energy and nature..Super capture as only from a guy lie you can do. Sorry to have been late on this one..I truly enjoy it!
