The image confuses me a bit...since it's taken from so close and without a hand or anything in it, it kind of makes it look like these are giant monster mushrooms (which I assume they aren't, since the text says their caps are 5-12 cm...which is big, but not Day of the Triffids big). rʨanaɢtalk/contribs 11:33, 17 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Heh - cool, ain't it? The photographer is User:Luridiformis who is on a bit of a break it looks like. Hopefully we'll see him when some mushrooms pop up again :) Casliber (talk·contribs) 12:45, 17 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
