Mushrooms And Fungi Of Any Kind

[Maximilian]

... And since everything around is lava rocks...

I should start thinking first...

Here's a miniature (about 5mm) from a little earlier:

And one more - from the same log:

Very nice shots. I love the short DOF.

Finally, some really sunny days this week. Time to refill the vitamin D depots.
And the sun makes the snow on top of this fellow. Could be from the genus gloeophyllum?

Lovely with the snow.

Today, after all this rain I was looking for mushrooms and didn't find any - the wind is still very strong, it's drying/killing the mushrooms at already primordial stage (they are very sensitive at that stage to the winds, especially the small ones...)!

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

If you search the Internet for "Mushrooms braking an asphalt" you may find something even more interesting! Through the rubble it is not a challenge for these guys! I was a witness in Czech Republic years ago when Agaricus bitorquis started growing up from asphalted walking path! It's a known phenomena!

Great bokeh effects! The outer 'lining' on the bokeh are sometimes considered a defect, but I like the bubble effect. Are those background raindrops falling, or on taller strands of grass?

 

[Nemorino]

It was a sunny morning with wet grass.

I like the SAC a lot as You can choose this bubble bokeh if You like. Of cause You pay the price of a soft subject but that is an artistic choice.

One more Leucoagaricus sp. - from today. There are at least 3 different species around with such a dark gray to black scales. I suspect nobody knows what is what...

Very nice picture with a perfect DOF. Well done, ISv.

Thanks Click!
I played with the DOF in PP with DxO 6... Shame on me?.

Really nice pic. And PP tweaks are okay, as long as nobody claims it SOOC or if it‘s a competition rule

Not at all. It is the result that matters after all.

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

Better keep this fungus off your lenses!

 

[ISv]

Better keep this fungus off your lenses!

Myxomycetes will not go on your lens and they are not fungi. Molds are true fungi and will go after your lens...

From a side garden this morning - a real bloom. All gone in the sun an hour or so later:



And a miniature from a local walk:

Well done, esp. Ehen thinking how small those are

 

[Jethro]

Well done, esp. Ehen thinking how small those are

Thank you. The 2nd one is only a few mm. The first ones were probably 5 cm tall, so the struggle is more how to get a good angle and composition.
