p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Diverse Woodland Fungi


These were in a private local woodland (mostly deciduous, with some conifers) on a dull, wet day in November. The bracket is not uncommon but is an exceptional specimen, a hand-span across (normal) but very tall. This being well outside macro limits, and the Hen of the Woods being much larger still, and the Parasol being the size of a dinner plate, I am posting here, rather than in Macro World.

EM-1, Kiron 105mm macro, TTL flash, hand-held.

Thanks.

The last one, also known as Macrolepiota rhacodes, is one of the tastiest of the recognisable mushroom type. However, nobody should eat any mushroom based on its similarity to this photograph, as small species, of very similar appearance, are suspect, possibly poisonous, at least one in Europe being deadly.

Thanks, Ron, Birdie and Lilki.

The first one was a very special find and I would like to have been able to shoot in daylight, including a stereo pair, on a fine day but the visit was a one-off.

The third was a challenge, to show detail without over-exposing.

The last, although a common species, was pleasing for the DOF for a hand-held shot.
