Lepiota josserandii is one of several small Lepiota species that have lethal levels of amatoxins. This species is not uncommon in California in the spring under live oak and shrubbery. One deadly poisoning occurred from Lepiota josserandii picked in New York under Scott's Pine. The victim, a very experienced mushroomer, thought that he was eating Lepiota excoriata and knew of no reports of poisonous Lepiota species in New York. The highly similar, if not identical, Lepiota subincarnata has more recently caused a fatality in British Columbia. Since the edibility of many mushrooms is not well determined and since identifications of many of the poisonous mushrooms can be difficult, it is hoped that doctors involved in treating mushroom poisonings would promptly seek the help of trained mushroom identifiers. Not only can these individuals often help in spotting potentially lethal mushrooms, but identifications by trained mycologists can help us better determine which species of mushrooms are causing trouble and help educate other mushroom pickers.
or:
Lepiota clypeolaria is another one of the small, poisonous Lepiotas. While the toxins present in Lepiota clypeolaria are not clearly known, lethal levels of amatoxins have been found in many of these smallish Lepiotas, including one tiny pure white Lepiota. From evidence accumulated so far, it appears unwise to eat any small Lepiota species. A Lepiota is recognized by a white spore print, white gills that are not attached to the stipe, a cap that often can be broken from the stipe in a ball and socket manner, and a partial veil leaving a membranous or fibrillose ring on the stipe of mature specimens.
Not exactly sure which they are, but I'm not taking any chances either! ;) :) :D

I got all that information right from this site:

Sorry to confuse you so much, but I was going :dunno: :dunno: :dunno: as I read the words myself! ;)

I really like the colors on that first wet twig. How much of that is natural? I mena is that tweeked alot with PS or is it close to natural. Doesn't matter, I like the color blend.
Bone,
That whole photo is as it came out of the camera except for a touch of post processing sharpening. Here is the EXIF of the photo:

I captured the photo on a Bright, Sunny Sunday morning. The sun was behind the fuchia flowers and streaming through wonderfully. I saw the setting was perfect, so I did my best to do it justice. ;) :) I like that photo so much I am using it for the wallpaper on my desktop monitor. :)
