Some years, in northern Namibia, weather conditions are just right for one or two weeks and we get all sorts of mushrooms and other fungi popping up in shaded places - they don't last for long though because the heat causes them to decompose very quickly.
Here's a link to an earlier post on 'Omahova', giant mushrooms which are a great delicacy here in Nam.

The first and last examples in the photos are awesome in colour and shape. Are any of them edible?
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave ... no, as far as I know they're not edible ...
ReplyDeleteI love mushrooms. Some of the mushrooms in the pictures look like cheese and ice cream. Complete with sprinkles. Too bad if they are inedible but they are all so beautiful still.
ReplyDeletehehe Fazlisa, yeah they do look delicious ... and it's rare that the atmospheric conditions are just right for their appearance ...
ReplyDeleteI have just just looked back at the giant mushrooms, they look like a meal on their own they are so big, yum yum.
ReplyDeleteHey Diane,
ReplyDeleteOne of those giant mushrooms certainly is a meal on it's own and yes, they are yummy ...
love the colours of the mushrooms, interesting to see them -look but don't eat!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit and comment Keats - yes, the colours are nice, I particularly like the pastels ...
