Ordinary

I relish spotting an unusual mushroom, taking a photograph, attempting to identify the type, giving it a name, printing the photos, and delighting in the eccentric capture.

This is a photo of a commonplace mushroom bought at a local farmer's market--no pedigree and never found in a mushroom guidebook.

Despite the lack of study by mycologists and calling it a "commercial" fungi, despite being classified as ordinary it presents itself as intricate and elegant.
