Picture of the Day for August 11, 2012

Well since I posted a mushroom looking cloud yesterday, I guess I could post a white toadstool today.

The terms “mushroom” and “toadstool” go back centuries and were never precisely defined, nor was there consensus on application. The term “toadstool” was often, but not exclusively, applied to poisonous mushrooms or to those that have the classic umbrella-like cap-and-stem form.

I have no clue what kind of ‘mushroom’ or ‘toadstool’ it is, but since I’m only taking a picture and not eating it, it doesn’t matter to me.
