Made my day. Still chuckling.

I do think I prefer the first one though.

I like the first one for the rainbow refractions displayed on the rocks. 
  That gets lost on the mossy versions.

But, I don't know, I have a thing for purple and pink (maybe too much 
estrogen).  And I want to steal those mushrooms for my own use, so I 
have to vote for the third one.

   No, it's not lost... just not present.

   I'm sorry to tell you these are not "Fly Agaric", but a very poisonous
unknown variety which are visually similar by coincidence. :)

I don't want to eat them ... those days are long gone.
Interestingly though, when I saw your first crystal I wondered what it 
tasted like. (Is it salty? That looks salty.)

Hmm, table salt (sodium chloride) grows in cubic crystals and its hard to get
them big.
But I know what you mean...

In a cave I'm expecting mushrooms with very long stalks and a pale dull 
color (or - in case - fluorescent). Or this is an outdoor cave?
Always better!

   I don't really know, as I have not been there, but judging by the
lighting, I would say this is very close to the cave entrance. :)

   Anyhow, I'm already working on modeling mushrooms like the ones you
described (Psilicybe semperviva). ;)

   Thanks!

I think it's one of those underground caves with full natural lighting,
starring either Will Ferrell and/or Simon Pegg.

This is gorgeous!
Hmmmm, I think, the moss should not be too smooth.

Amazing to watch!
