Description
I am in fact a Hobbit in all but size. I like gardens, trees, and unmechanized farmlands; I smoke a pipe, and like good plain food (unrefrigerated), but detest French cooking; I like, and even dare to wear in these dull days, ornamental waistcoats. I am fond of mushrooms (out of a field); have a very simple sense of humor (which even my appreciative critics find tiresome); I go to bed late and get up late (when possible). I do not travel much.�
~ J.R.R. Tolkien

While we were away for the summer months, there were no summertime uploads, and now autumn is in full swing. The time passing has taken me more than a little by surprise!
I know very little about mushrooms, and sometime may educate myself more on the different types of fungi that exist. My mother used to pick them - she knew the right ones - and served them up in the most delicious ways.
Here now in tribute to this particular time of year, and to Frodo Baggins of Tolkien's Hobbit fame who found mushrooms irresistible, a little fellow sporting a pretty, shapely conical cap that caught my eye, and which I couldn't resist capturing. (And dear Frodo, hopefully, this one really is edible).
Taken in natural light; uncropped; unedited ... nature in all its splendour.
