Not Mayberry

Can a shy, retiring teacher from the big city find true happiness in the small town of Wilkesboro NC, which even the locals call "Moonshine Capital of the World."

In honor of the demise of Mellow Mushroom ...

... our favorite place to meet on Tuesdays for years (not that the staff ever noticed), here are 63 pictures of some very odd, and very beautiful, mushrooms. And to whet your appetite, here is a sample.

Can you say Hayao Miyazaki?

Has anyone noticed that photo 34 and 35 (if I counted right) are the same location but in one the color is yellow and the other it is white? Beautiful photos!

Wow! Beautiful! Thanks for posting. Made me think of those underwater creatures & coral photos & now I want to watch "Finding Nemo" again. Is Hayao Miyazaki the photographer.

Glad you like them - I thought they were beautiful and a bit weird.

Miyazaki is a Japanese animator who did several animated movies with strange little shinto spirits that reminded me of some of the mushrooms.
