Very short lifespan! Interesting to see over the last 48hrs, thanks Sway.

Hey Sue ---

The moral of the story is that cream of mushroom soup must be made on day 2 :)

Well done with this series. It's been fun and interesting. I never knew that they grow and die so quickly. No real comments on the photography, as usual the pic is great.

Superb presentation with these three pictures Sue! These fungi looks very fragile and short living. Only black bodies left in sea of fresh green grass. I like it very much!

Yes Sue, I have enjoyed the life and death of the glistening ink-cap fungi. And even watched the grass grow too. They last longer than what I thought they would, and I wonder if tomorrow the stems might still be standing. A very interesting saga, thank you.

Hi Sue, great shot and a good follow up to the other posts. I don't know so much about dying, as the fungi is doing well, the mushrooms are only the fruiting body and a means for reproduction so there is no death here, that fungi is very likely alive and well.

Nice shot, well done.

The end of an intresting series Sue, all 3 images show well the life cycle of the fruiting body of the fungus which lives in the piece of wood or root burried in the soil beneath the grass.
