These ones really pop up against the neutral colors of the surroundings. Can’t help but took a few shots of them before continuing my journey. Unexpected delights especially from nature do really make my heart sing…
My words will either attract a strong mind or offend a weak one.

I'm Michelle. This is my blog. I write about women and fatness, expound upon semi-coherent thoughts I have in the middle of the night, and offer tough love to those in whom I am disappointed; they are legion. I was born in New Jersey and live in Italy, the Jersey of Europe.

I had no idea these existed in real life. They look so… I don’t know the word. Neither ‘delicious’, nor ‘beautiful’, but not quite ‘ugly’ or ‘dangerous’. I’ll stick with ‘interesting’.

Interesting is good. Better than beautiful since beauty fades. I wonder if you know the french word “Jolielaide”

I didn’t before, but now I’m obsessing over it. I’m just scrolling down and down on image searches, looking at all of the jolie laide.
I guess I’m a little weird, but I never saw mushrooms as ugly. though. Just interesting.

Amanita Muscaria or Fly agaric. A psychedelic mushroom. They tend to only show up only in specific places.

Sometimes confused with the “Death Angel”. Especially when younger. They are probably the most widely known, used by illustrators of children’s books. … See Alice in Wonderland etc. Jefferson Airplane had a big hit with “White Rabbit”. An allusion to it.
