Thank you John ,I think it's quite beautiful too.When I found 2 of them at the beginning of the week this one was perfect.I should have taken more time and got a good photo then, but I managed to find it again yesterday and got this photo,which is not perfect but I thought I'd post it because it's unusual.Fungi are a fascinating but daunting subject for a beginner.
