Really nice, esp. with the sunlight in the bg.

Thanks Maximillian!

Not actually fungus but they are historically studied by mycologists: I think Fuligo septica (Myxomycetes)

Fascinating!
At first I thought someone may have dropped some expanding PU foam

I've generally taken 'natural light' single frame pictures

Sorry for the late reply!
I'm not very experienced and not in the position to give perfect advise.
But if You ask for a natural BG try shorter focal length. I like the RF 35 or even the Laowa 15mm macro for mushrooms. the longest lens I use is the Rf 100 L.

Again two versions of the same stack.
R5 + Rf35 @ f/1.8

Nice shots, Nemorino. I prefer the first version.

 

[Nemorino]

Thank You, Click! In this case I like the more natural look of the second.

Another picture I took in 2020 using the Eos R and the Laowa 15mm macro.
Light by a smartphone.
Probably a Ramaria abietina

Another very nice shot. Nicely done, Nemorino.

We colloquially just call them coral fungi in Australia - great shot! Here's one from last year (EOS R and Laowa 100mm x2 Macro):



I've got a nice purple one somewhere too, if I can find it

 

[Jethro]

Here we go (EOS R and Laowa 100mm x2 Macro again, natural light, ISO 5000):

Slime mold and stinkhorns, just two of benefits of wood chips.

Same in Germany

Nicely done, Nemorino.

On my way to check on the White Tern I noticed this one growing between the ruble next to the sidewalk. Lepiota (sensu lato), now it should be Leucoagaricus or Leucocoprinus... One can see small particle of the partial veil hanging from the left of the cap. I have no idea what species it is - these are extremely difficult!

That's such a lovely image with the colours and lighting. Well done

Very nice shot, ISv. It has found a way to grow through the rocks.

I really like that hard contrast between bright mushroom and dark sones.
Are these lava rock?

 

[Maximilian]

Some from late 2022. Seems that orientation has changed here

Actually I decreased the light in the shadows in PP - for more "drama".
Concerning the rocks - I have no idea but it's hard to believe they are bringing rubble from somewhere else (would be pretty expensive for what you get!). And since everything around is lava rocks...
