Haha, Steve, very nice catch for this special day :-) I think it must be very poisonous. Probably after eating you would turn into green alien with long claws and big scrotum [TM] :-) I hope we'll here about this rare specie again. Maybe next year :-)

Hi Steve,

A green mushroom! Fantastic. This would have been perfect for St. Patrick's Day. A beautiful shot of this unusual fungus with lovely colors and fine details.

Hi Steve,

I think this specie only exists on the 1st of April... :) You have great sense of humour - anyway, You're the only and the real Lord Potty. :) Except for Grzeg (red45) and Jean-Marie (Nephrotome2) everyone has eaten the cake... :) Well done, Steve. :)

Great idea - I have another one, which You can see tomorrow. For me 1st of April doesn't mean the "day of fools", but my younger son's birthday...

Thanx for the great gag - this is one of the most humorous pics of TN. Best wishes, László

Hi Steve,
Good to hear from you re my last posting. I come and go on TN.
This is amazing a) because of the colour of this Amanita, and b)your lovely rendition/invention of this discovery.
I'm becoming a little obsessive-compulsive perhaps - but if you wanted to make this perfect you could clone out some of the overblown highlights in the background, and even tone down the reflections on your mushroom. But thats nit-picking!
Cheers mate.

Thanks Steve, for this excellent image of a decidedly different mushroom in bright, mint green, a first for me.

It looks positively vicious, Steve, I wouldn't even dare lick my fingers for ages after touching it..
Cracking capture with excellent colours and DOF, well spotted - in more ways than one :o)

Wow when I saw this I wounded if some one had been busy in photoshop? Very much a curiosity as there is no record of this in NZ.

Hello Steve,
The red version isn't edible. Never tried the green one.:-) Surprised there is a green version.

Namastay Steve,
A nice capture of this beautiful green mushroom. Perhaps a little more space above the top would have looked more nice. Very good details and a nice composition. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Sincerely
Hara

Apparently, many had seen through your 1st April rouge, Steve, though a gullible guy like me would certainly have taken the bait line, hook and sinker :)!
Nevertheless, now that I have read your 'confession' on the Forum and gone through all the critiques you got on it, I still have to say that you 'invented' a lovely creation. Why can't a mushroom be green, anyway?
Regards.
