This little 2 1/2 inch tall forest of mushrooms, covered in dew drops, came up in a pile of wood chips in the forrest behind my backyard. They seemed quite delicate with their lacy black caps and white stems.
After a little research online, I found that they are called 'Panaeolus subbalteatus' and are likely the most widespread hallucinogenic mushroom in the world as it has been found in Asia, S. America, N. America, and Europe plus here in Hawaii. It is also the third most grown psilocybin mushroom (magic mushroom) in Amsterdam.
Thank you very much, but my life has enough magic in it without the help of this tiny little hallucinogenic fungi.
I've lived in Hawaii since 2002, 1200 feet above sea level, on the small rural island of Moloka'i. It is very quiet here, with only about 7,400 residents. I appreciate the quiet life after spending 35 years as a commercial illustrator, senior art director and design director for major advertising agencies and design studios in Chicago, San Francisco and Palo Alto California. I've always loved cooking. In 2002 that love led me to a degree in the Culinary Arts just before moving to Hawaii. Since then I designed and built a house, worked in local restaurants, self-published three cookbooks, and took up photography as a hobby. Now retired, I spend most of my time developing recipes and photographing them, plus researching and writing...

Fantastic macro James! You have indeed magically changed them from tiny mushrooms, to giant columns of some epic temple to the gods. Love it! lf
James Temple replied:
Thanks Heidi, the only way for me to get any lower would me to dig a hole and lay in it.

What kind of mushrooms are? They look strange, are they edible? Great shot!
James Temple replied:
No idea what they are, they were only about 3 inches tall. I put my camera down in the wood chips to take the photo. You can see how large the water drops are. I loved the black stripes in their caps. Thanks for the comment!
