many of which i saw were round, and of seeing them a lot, i told myself i must take a photo of at least one, jeje, then this one caught my attention! @karensaxton: great to know it extends as far!

You should also add it to the Mushroom Mapping mission. I've never seen one with a star shaped hole in the center.

Click on Missions at the top of the page and join any that you want to. I thought this was a flower until I checked it out. Likely a Mushroom heading would draw more people to look as it is so unusual in it's color.
