Today, courtesy of Rik Gern, we once again enter the mysterious world of fungi. Rik’s captions and IDs are indented, and you can enlarge his photos by clicking on them.
Here is the second batch of photos of Pinewood gingertail (Xeromphalina campanella) mushrooms from Wisconsin’s northwoods. I tried to focus on portraits of individual mushrooms in this series.
This picture of the gills on the underside of the cap was taken using natural light.
The following two shots utilized a flash. (3-4) I like how they reveal more detail, and the flash sure makes the exposure easier, but something about the lighting doesn’t feel quite right.
This picture was a lot harder to process, but the natural light made it more satisfying:
The last several pictures are all of the same cluster of mushrooms. There was something about this grouping that seemed majestic and it was fun to try to give each shot a different feel:
Beautiful.
Stunning.
Thank you
Thanks–wonderful photos. I like similar photos, one in natural light, one with flash. As you note, the flash provides more detail, but I do like the atmosphere with the natural light.
Beautiful!
Beautiful! Surely there is a mycology picture book in the works. No? If not, there should be.
Thanks, but I would have no idea how to begin or go about that.
Wow!
Lovely photos, thanks!
