Thanks, Click.Nice picture, becceric.
Thanks for the ""! It seems you like the fungi from the Genus Cortinarius - even the image at your account is a Cortinarius. They are beautiful and very dangerous (some are edible and good but very hard to ID correctly): if in Amanitas (like the Death cap) you may have 24-72h latent period before you start feeling the poisoning (in the same time the toxins of the fungus are making crap of your liver!!!). With the Cortinarius this period is much longer - as long as that there is no way back!I found my NEF files finally...
Some of these shots are 2-4s exposure time...

sounds yummy!Thanks for the ""! It seems you like the fungi from the Genus Cortinarius - even the image at your account is a Cortinarius.

On other hand they are really nice for photos (as you prove it)!
Let's start with the facts: back in Europe I was doing a list of the species I ate (and survive !). Some, like members of Entoloma I ate after ~year of research (incl. microscopy) and they were really good! My list got in between 200-250 species, I don't remember the exact number. The logic behind of this? If you are not sure in your knowledge in the taxonomy of Fungi why you have to pretend to be an expert in that field? It was something like "I pay with my head for my conclusions". And it payed off!sounds yummy!
So I will continue to consume your wonderful pictures (#3 is my fav),
and keep eating champignons, king oysters, etc. (chanterelles are my fav)
Thanks for sharing your insight. I just wanted to make a joke.... Well, now - I afraid you have not much of idea: "champignons" are ~250-300 species in Europe alone. Some are excellent others not that much... What you buy in the store is mostly Agaricus bisporus. There are others with rather different taste and you can collect them only in the wild. ...
Thanks, Click.Nice picture, becceric.
