One from Saturday.

Nicely captured.

That's nice. If you get a chance can you play with the focus point - I think more of the upper part of the toadstall should be in focus rather than the underfoot leaves.

Do you know what it is ?

Thanks John.

Thanks Kaye and don't know what kind. This one was kind of a challenge having to lay flat on my stomach on the wet ground. Maybe i'm getting to old for that.

If it was in the UK I would be thinking about it being a Russula species. We get one which looks similar and is commonly known as The Sickener, for obvious reasons!

ps. I tend to find fungi to be tricky subjects. Besides getting down to them they so often have reflective over exposure areas so I normally only shoot in shade with a long exposure on a tripod

I think you should buy yourself one of those tarps to lie down on...I always have a 6 x 8 as part of my equipment...Nice shot...well worth your effort but I agree with Kaye about the exposure...

Geoff, I agree that it looks like a Russula species.

Izzie, I use a sheet of bubble wrap for this purpose.
