The title doesn't bother me. Isn't there some species of mushroom that has a name close to Madonna? I just Googled "madonna mushroom" and nothing came up, so maybe I'm off-base there. In any event, Google "Madonna"; the first seven items have to do with the entertainer, and only two items on the first page don't pertain to her, those being a university and a hospital. The second Google page is all about the entertainer. So, I'm not sure who's being offended by cavalier use of the word Madonna? I think the title's fine, as it looks like the larger mushroom is protecting the other, much like the Blessed Mother protects her flock... (oops, better not go there) ;-) Seriously, a very nice photo.
