Woven in layers of filament fine
Is the broad capped mushroom,
Regal and proud, a fungus shrine,
From tiny spoor to fruit of gloom.

I love Mushrooms! Especially when they cooked in loads of butter and then mixed into a yummy creamy sauce to tip over bacon and eggs.. or or.. steak…
Beautifully written!

LOL I love how the fungus is in layers and when you break it, it breaks along a straight line. So few straight lines in nature. 🙂 I’m a weird duck, what can I say? Hugs, Brenda
