Growing on me
In response to Lorianne's fabulous orange fungus I remembered this beautiful red-topped mushroom that my housemate and I discovered in a forest in the highlands of scotland last week.
I require no friendly experts or toadstool tomes to identify the type. It's a smurf-house!

What a fabulous shade of crimson. Smurf house, yes probably. A Scottish smurf .... Macsmurf?
...or perhaps an amanita muscaria?
That's a fine fungus there.
Were Smurf houses blue? Or were only Smurfs blue?
Lorianne: Smurfs are very blue. But their houses are large toadstools sporting a bright red cap with white polkadots ... very much like our specimen. I found a pic on ebay.
I collected Smurfs as a child. Between us, my sister and I have around 120. Astonishing.
Mary: McSmurf does indeed exist, and of course he plays the bagpipes. Here's a little pic.
Meloukhia - goodness me! A fly agaric! I'm glad I didn't know - I can't be trusted around that sort of thing :)
Those smurf pics are SO cute!
.. I should have known the correct spelling of his name. Tut tut.
Ooh-la! Such brilliant color!
... a smurf with yellow bagpipes?? ...Oh, the things I missed out on! ;-)
