Description
I am becoming a horizontal photogragher now the fungi are appearing. I was laying on my stomach taking a shot on a country roadside. A passing motorist passed and reversed back thinking I had collapsed and in need of medical attention. She gave a strange smile and shake of the head when I revealed my camera and pointed at the clump of toadstools.
This is when my pocket reflector is my most treasured item, putting a little light to the shadows of all fungus shots.

AmaZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzing details!
Lovely shot!
awesome mushrooms .. excellent composition, and subject!!!!!!!
superb image!
Very nice. The texture on the caps resembles alligator hide. :-) The pocket reflector is a super idea!
Beautiful shot! I'm a bit surprised by your identification of this mushroom, because Chrysenteron doesn't have a massive foot . More, it seems there's a ring around the foot. I think it's an Amanita rubescens IMHO.
You really do have this down to a "T". You are an exceptional Artist and skillful photographer. What a wonderful image Kevin. I'd love to have been at the back of you! hehe
Many thanks to Piliph for his info and correct I.D. on my shot. I must buy a better book to help with fungi I.D., now it is appearing everywhere!!
