This three day growth of an Amanita Muscaria is time-lapsed to only 1 minute long and
worth every second! Very, very cool! You know, there was a time when I thought
these red mushrooms with white polka dots were make-believe and
only found in children's storybooks! When I came across this video a year
or so ago, I couldn't believe they were real! They still have that make-believe quality about them, which is just accentuated by the time lapse! And it all goes to show you,
as I always say, that real life really is better than fiction!
Although it's technically a fungus, I call them mushrooms and so it will be
my entry for the letter M.
I've joined the A to Z Challenge for the month of April!
We're celebrating the letter M all day Saturday the 14th!

First first
ReplyDeleteWith my burst
well, well, well
Deletedon't you think you're swell!
That is always the case
DeleteAs I rhyme at a steady pace
I need a little pin to give your head a prick
Deleteand let a little air out so it doesn't get so big!
You'll thank me, yes, it's true
when your head can fit through the doors and in your car, too!
Have you had to drive with it hanging out the window
cuz it's too big and hits the rear view mirror?
lol...
LOL I already have a whole post done
DeleteOn how it needs to be popped under my sun
But sadly not much seemed to work
And of course that made me smirk..haha
haha...see...another tour I did take
Deletefor me to predict that pin prick escapade
will be fun to read
what actually works to do that deed.
haha might not be nothing at all
DeleteAt my hall
Wow that is one big mushroom
ReplyDeleteOr fungus that might bring doom
It does look like something right out of the smurfs or something like that
As many a cartoon has been seen with them in it by the cat
Didn't think they were that real either at my sea
I guess now I know differently
And reality better than fiction you say
Hmmmmm I don't know with my mind I can think up quite the fiction my way..haha
It just looks like a troll should live under it!
DeleteWe don't have them here where I live.
They must be over in Europe land
where red mushrooms look so grand!
your mind is the exception
but I'm sure that isn't a revelation.
lol.
Yeah never seen there here at my sea
DeleteSo that have to be at some foriegn place causing glee
Or maybe not
As when eaten I don't think they make on feel so hot
The exception is my mind
Oh that is nice to hear from my little rhyming behind..haha
They couldn't have them in Nova Scotia
Delete'cause the moose would tromple them
Maybe they are in Ireland
where the leprechauns can dance under them!
But can't they fit that pot of gold under there
DeleteI think it is more of a troll or smurf affair
Those moose trample all
And give off quite the noisey call
well those are some good points
DeleteI hope the gold pot is too big for that joint.
hey, I'm working on Grutty tonight
those gawkers are looking out of sight!
Sounds great
DeleteSure your twin will relate..haha
Glad you caught all the kitties too
At your zoo
A big shroom indeed, wonder if this one would be good to eat, has me thinking of a portobello mushroom sandwich with sweet balsamic dressing and caramelized onions-yumm Actually, the size of this mushroom, also reminds me of the smurfs and would probably make them quite the house. Finally, I'd like to say, I find it interesting how that squirrel appears in the frozen pic before one hits play, but perhaps it's my eyes, but I didn't see that squirrel during those three quick days, I wonder what else the editing snipped out, not those bugs that swarmed about or the quick flash of a cat or dog--very interesting indeed. Nice post. Thanks
ReplyDeleteyeah, that squirrel must have hopped off right at the beginning! A few of the clips had so many bugs that I couldn't watch without itching! lol. And one had worms on it! lol.
Deletewe had sauteed mushrooms and onions on a steak for dinner...yum.
What nice I love mushrooms! but this look so big LOL
ReplyDeletelove the squirrel!
Deleteit's huge!
DeleteI wonder if it's poisonous...probably is. ha.
it's a black squirrel, too...I don't see many of those around here!
DeleteI think is poisonus you know this is like of the tales!
Deleteyes, I think you are right!
Deleteare you feeling better?

DeleteI like the part where the little fringe drops down from underneath. Very cool!!!!! If I was a fairy I would want to live in one of those. :)
ReplyDeleteMe, too! It's an amazing little clip...makes me think of all kinds of make believe stories!
DeleteI 'm not sure which was more entertaining the comments or the post, the post was beautiful, I love the music, the comments were a hoot! I'm curiuos so I'm going to go to Gloria's blog now,
ReplyDeletethe comments can get quite entertaining, that is for sure. Yes, go check out Gloria's recipe...it looks so good for this summer!

ReplyDeleteAnna@ Herding Cats & Burning Soup

DeleteIt does look like a make believe mushroom. The video is amazing and worth watching!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane

Deletethank you friend, had come to my blog safe and successful
ReplyDeleteyes, I got there just fine! thanks for inviting me! :)
DeleteAmanitas are some of my favorite mushrooms! They are the classic cartoon-ish style.
ReplyDeleteYou -can- eat them, but they will make you feel drunk and a little bit sick.
Very cartoonish! It's easy to see why everyone loves them!
DeleteAbout eating them...I just read somewhere that reindeer eat them and then dance about acting high. lol.
oh wow crazy...love those time lapse films too...but that is a bit mushroom and the first thing i thought of was the smurfs as well...
ReplyDeleteI do, too..they are so very cool. I should show more of them!
DeleteYep...smurfs!
Stopping by from the Challenge. Great video; great blog. Signing up to follow.
ReplyDeletehi thelma..nice of you to visit!
DeleteA wild and crazy mushroom...just like Mr. Toast likes to draw. I didn't know they were real.
ReplyDeleteIt is a little crazy...and I couldn't believe they were real, either!
DeleteI've seen that video elsewhere... but I like it better here. :)
ReplyDeletewell, that was sweet. :)
DeleteThere's there that blasted word again!
DeleteHi betsy hope you have a nice Saturday!

Deleteyes...I just went to check. Mouska is so pretty...and she is waiting so patiently for you! lol. Awww.
Deleteyes she is really nice lol
DeleteThat was really interesting. Funny how it kept growing out of frame. :)
ReplyDeleteyeah...it would have been nice if they had the camera back a little, but I'm sure they had no idea it was going to grow so big! ha. And right in the middle of their yard, too...so fun!
Deletetotally magical, especially with the flashing sky.
ReplyDeleteyour blog, with the flowers and pastries and little creatures that love you, is a fantasy land treat. it's downright delicious.
wow...thanks, Ed. You do have a way with words..but then, I think you knew that. ha.
DeleteI've never seen a mushroom such as this in real life either, Betsy, so I always thought they were make believe. I enjoyed watching the video and seeing it grow. I kept waiting for a little elf to appear and use it as an umbrella ;)
ReplyDeletehaha..I know..can't believe I didn't know they were real!
DeleteThat was great! One of the really poisonous ones. I liked watching the veil break away. I'm trying to visit all the A-Z Challenge Blogs this month. You can see mine at myqualityday.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteCompletely exquisite!
ReplyDeleteI'd hang with this little mushroom dude cause he looks like a fungi. (fun guy)
Nice to meet you!
