Lovely picture Jon.

I'm going to be picky: if it's not an Agaricus of some kind then it's not a mushroom. Difficult to tell from the picture but it may be Gymnopilus spectabilis

No idea what this one is. Take in ards a forest park, Donegal with 600d and 50mm 1.8.

Great shot. I get gigantic colonies of something similar in this one corner of my yard each year. I mean, colonies of maybe fifty individual mushrooms, but clumped together such that they form this single fungal mass that is often FEET in diameter.

Love that carpet of moss, too!

I'll have to dig out a couple I've done using the 100mm macro (non-L) with extension tubes, near to twice life size.

This last one is so "Super Mario"
