Mushrooms And Fungi Of Any Kind

I really like the low POV. Nicely done, Nemorino.
Thanks!
That is the advantage of the short focal length.
It is possible even with a tele, but maybe not that good ;)

A quite lazy attempt at focus stacking. R5 + 100-400L II, focus bracketing handheld (30 samples with step size 1), ISO 12800, Auto-Align + Auto-Merge in Photoshop, no additional NR or sharpening.

Last year I posted some pics of Pleurotus abalonus. Don't remember if I posted the comment but for me it was "Next year I would be there in time for fresh fruit bodies". Didn't happen - busy! Today was the first opportunity to visit the place - and again they are so aged!
Anyway (today) in front look this one is two my palms (fingers spread: ~36-37 cm) on the wider site!!! Huge mushrooms and even if you reduce the waight because of the water loging (there were two cold/rain fronts just two days ago...) it's still ~two pounds of mushroom (if not more!)? In "profile" it's about 26-28 cm. Shots are from ~7-9 meters (500mm lens) and somewhat cropped... I still have to taste an Oyster Mushroom from this group (P. abalonus/P. cystidiosus) - shame after ~20 years in Hawaii!
After that - Leucocoprinus barsii - it's an edible and a good taste - I have tried this one... The only problem is to find enough of them ;)

Thanks Click but for real close-up 200-500 is better lens! Close-up from 7+ meters is not what you want
I prefer shorter focal length for mushrooms. If they are that large You don`t even need a mocro lens.


Two versions of the same series of in body focus bracketing. First made of 22, second made of 36 single pictures.
R5 + RF35 @ f/4
