[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This nice fungus is Shaggy mane (Coprinus comatus), the only delicious one from inkcaps (Coprinus genus). Quite common autumnal fungus, may be found even in city parks and gardens, not only in forest.
Edible when young (1-2 days only, becomes old quite soon), when the cap's white and isn't flowing like ink.
Alcohol can't be drunken after or before eating it, because this "coctail" kicks You - causes emesis and so.

A very similar image can be seen on TrekNature, showing the whole scene around the mushroom, while this is a macro shot. Not the cropped version of that photo - see exif info. Out of hand, no flash.

It's a good time for mushrooms for you now Laszlo. This cone-shape sure looks good, nice and sharp, and I like seeing the blurred BG, showing us where it 'lives'.
Well done
Janice

I have never seen a mushroom like this. An excellent picture. I do prefer this one to the TrekNature shot. A beautiful background! Very good! TFS

My friend Laszlo

Good weekend :-)

Hello Laszlo,
This is an impressive mushroom, well captured with fine close-up qualities!
F/2.8 gives fine details in the subject and a blurry background...
A well balanced composition wikth good natural colours!
