The Old Man and his Family

This mushroom stood in front of his big family, old and proud. The life of a mushroom is only a few days, and in that time it must grow and then disperse its spores before fading away. That's a lot of work for a little mushroom, and this one is clearly very tired and ready to rest back in the earth where he came from!
