Seven hats - 7 dwarves

mushrooms are there in numbers and manifold varieties. One has to step carefully not to smash them while ploughing with a heavy bag and tripod through the forest paths.

Iduna,

A lovely shot with amazing clarity and detail.

I'm guessing these pretty little dudes would be very toxic?

Iduna, beautiful. In my mycology course I decided to make my own classification of LBM for little brown mushroom. They are ridiculously hard to remember and keep strait unless you are a mycologist.

Iduna,

 

A lovely picture with the seven hats huddled together. Wonderful colors, great lighting and crisp sharpness.

Stuart,

thanks for looking at the dwarves and giving your support.

 

Dee,

thanks for studying these fellows. I do not know anything about mushrooms, so I keep off my fingers of any kind but I watch people collecting and listen to their stories how delicious some of them are.

 

Karl,

you are right about LBM. If you don't mind I'll adopt this trm ecause it is exactly what I thought. Thanks.

 

Paul,

thanks a lot for your support. These shots were longtime exposures. Usually I chose f-stop 8 to get everything sharp and then shutterspeed does not matter because I use a tripod. but light matters, therefore I used a small reflector to fill the shadows.

Iduna,

 

Great shot. I photograph mushrooms myself but must say you do it better.

Iduna,

 

Very cute. I like their formation as a cluster, and the way you've captured so much detail. I suspect Dee is right about their toxic nature, still they are pretty to look at.

Bill,

thanks for your comment. It is not easy to get them sharp and you have to get deep down with your tripod. I have one where the middle extension can be pushed into the horizontal line. One picture takes a lot of time before it is in the box. So do not worry about yours.

 

Ece,

thanks for your ni comment. I suppose they are not very digestable. There are many people in the forest now to collect and consume them. So, the conclusion is you may be right about their toxic nature.
