I'm usually a total mess ten minutes into a hike, so I'm in no position to tease anyone.

Hahaha it's true! Thanks, but actually these are my friends fingers. I asked him to hold the mushroom so I could photograph it. It was a wet and muddy bike ride to the tunnel we were in, so we were all a little dirty.

Really pretty mushroom, but you need a manicure even more than I do. :)
