Mushroom, Santa Claus and Dog

I saw this mushroom as Santa Claus yesterday. It was by then showing his standard stylish thick white beard. I could hear the low and slow ho ho ho while he was delivering gifts to the homes of the so called good children.

( It is ho ho ho instead of he he he because Santa Claus is a big fat old guy, he he he simply sounds like a little elf.)

At the end of a hard and harsh day, I am now seeing the mushroom as a dog sticking out its tongue for some quick and shallow breaths, for the sole reason that he needs to cool off the entire body. I am certainly carried away by this.

    I think the mushroom looks more like Santa Claus than a dog, but either way they are great pictures.

    I have never seen something like this before. This is one unique looking mushroom.

    Looks like it's to late to get that dog a rabies shot. It's already foaming at the mouth.

    Interesting shelf mushroom. I have a hard enough time identifying those around here let along something on the other side of the globe.

    If you look at the underside you'll see pores in stead of gills.

    This mushroom is what Santa Claus would be if he was a dog. He would turn into a magical mushroom that grants wishes and turns all the rich kids into fungi.

    Cool mushroom pictures! I don't see Santa Claus or a dog's tongue, but I do see a mushroom stuck deep down a well and the white part is the opening.

    cherie: You better don't tell, or you may scare me away.

    Bangchik and Kakdah: Maybe I shall find out on my next trip. I shall try to have an ant's view to confirm its gender.

    You are such an imaginative soul rainfield. I see more of a dog than Santa. Great shots.

  23. HarshiSeptember 4, 2009 at 3:23 PM

    Lol that was a good one! =D "ho ho ho" definitely suits the personality of Santa. =D

    The mushroom sure looks like a Santa too, but the 2nd pic reminds me of a big brown python wearing a wily grin and a thick milky white necklace.. like Kaa from Jungle Book. =D

    It's a great pic that inspires and triggers imagination. Cool capture Rain!
