Once photograph by a drone, it also delivered the last of the medication of the crazy person, but great wifi.

I'm guessing that earthly notes means it tasted like dirt.

Well there was a few tress in the arena, the contractor just cut them down a spell ago, leaving an open path of direct sunlight, and what is more intresting is how the lake was a golden snow cover by the sunlight.

I honestly didn't know where to drop this, so I'm going to leave it here. It's not a photo, but it is interesting...

If you glance at that just a bit askew, and think of a different color palette, it almost resembles that dinosaur eye in one of the Jurassic Park movies...

Yeah a somewhat selfie of my hands curled on accident, it looks like I just pulled the clouds apart.

From yesterday, why because of the way the light catches towards the bottom, makes it look pop out in the sea.

These mushrooms, specifically the one that has flower like petals, caught my attention while out riding today. I've never seen anything quite like it. The mushrooms are a common yard thing in this area. Especially during wet weather. As common as they are, this is the first mushroom that I've seen that has a repeating pattern around the top.

Those there will send you to the ER ...
I did a bit of research but I didn't dig deep. I found an almost exact duplicate pic of the mushroom but the poster was searching for information. Another pic was posted as an educational tool. The only information I can find is that the form is fairly rare and is likely a Green-Spored Lepiota mushroom that is poisonous.

Green-Spored Lepiota (Chlorophyllum molybdites) is infamous for causing intense gastrointestinal distress. It’s often mistaken for edible mushrooms, making it one of the most commonly consumed poisonous species in North America.
Symptoms typically appear 1–3 hours after ingestion and may include:
While the effects are rarely fatal, they can be especially dangerous for children and pets due to their smaller body size. The toxin responsible is believed to be molybdophyllysin, which targets the digestive system.
If you suspect someone has consumed this mushroom, contact Poison Control immediately:

Some time back I hunted shrooms. I enjoyed many while my fave has long been the morel. Last I checked the morel is a shroom we can't grow in a controlled environment. But I've ate many types and ignored many many more out of caution.
As to the one in this discussion, I've seen and tasted (just the tiniest little nibble) some and didn't feel like testing my health with something unknown. So I grabbed the fungi and took it to a botanist friend. Who told me to "leave that kind alone in the states".

How do you hunt shrooms they are plants..
Actually mushrooms are fungi rather than plants. Fungi are distinct from both plants and animals (a separate "kingdom" of life), though genetic evidence suggests that they are actually more closely related to animals than plants - in the sense that their last common ancestor with animals was more recent than their last common ancestor with plants (though both were hundreds of millions of years ago). Sorry to be pedantic, but it sort of goes with my job. 
The really fun thing about mushrooms is that they aren't the whole fungus, or even the larger part of it. They are just "fruiting bodies", a bit like flowers on a plant. The rest of the fungus grows through the soil as threads or moulds, usually unseen, and can be huge: the largest organism in the world is a fungus from the group commonly known as "honey mushrooms". The "mushroom" itself is just something the fungus sprouts at certain times of year to disperse its spores.
As for how you hunt them, think of "hunting for a lost sock" rather than "hunting an antelope".
