Exposure: 0.00 sec

I (Paul Lazazzera) took this photo on April 8th 2018 in Watsonville California among some pine trees. I call this image TriCini for obvious reasons and it is to this date the most unique specimen of this species I have found. I harvested it to eat and gain its special powers! I hope you enjoy it as well.
