Unto Dust...

Often, I'll decide to keep a cool looking botanical specimen around once I've photographed it., especially if it is somewhat unique. After all, they are fun to re-photograph, and you never know if you will ever come across a better example. So, I'll seal it up and add it to the collection of dead things scattered around the studio. Unfortunately, I couldn't do that with this mushroom, as its stench was simply overpowering. So, after a few shots, I chucked in into the undergrowth from whence it came.
