   Aptly named. They look almost like they are turned inside out.

     I was thinking more of wide-brimmed hats with tattered veils hanging down. Either way, they look sad, and grim.

   How interesting, I’ve never seen these before. Are they poisonous?

     At this stage of their life, I doubt they’re appetising. Yet when wearing their shaggy tops… apparantly so.

     While I much prefer the fresh specimens, complete with shaggy hats, I have to say, these do have a certain elegance. I’m kinda reminded of the Ascot scene in My Fair Lady.

   Interesting. It looks like s sort of blue dye on them. Could you dye things with them?

     I don’t know. Possibly. Though you’d probably need a fixative.

   They do look like widows with frayed lacy hats… Perfect for Hallowe’en 😉

     I thank you, Dale. That is how I saw them. And perfect to find them standing around a grave.
