fotografr Posted September 10, 2016 Share #1  Posted September 10, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I was out walking in the countryside a couple of days ago and came across some Amanita Muscaria mushrooms. Some people claim they have psychedelic effects but can also make people who eat them violently ill. I left it right where it was.  DL109 Welcome, dear visitor!

Iduna Posted September 10, 2016 Share #3 Â Posted September 10, 2016 Brent, Â a kind of magic is here and the bluish tinge is emphasizing this impact. Nice capture! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert Posted September 10, 2016 Share #4 Â Posted September 10, 2016 Just think of the fun you missed. Ha! Really nice shot. I am going to piggy back on your post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted September 11, 2016 Share #5 Â Posted September 11, 2016 Very nice. Â My test to see if a mushroom is safe is if there are tiny bite marks out of it, and some small, dead woodland creatures lying about, I won't eat that mushroom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share #6  Posted September 11, 2016 Thank you all for commenting, and thanks, Iduna, for noticing the blueish tint. That was sloppy processing on my part and it shouldn't have been there. Here's what the mushroom should have looked like. Welcome, dear visitor!

Henry Taylor Posted September 12, 2016 Share #7  Posted September 12, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Beautiful  but for sure something to say away from. I would hate to try to figure what mushrooms are eatable that's  why I buy mine at Ralph's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted September 12, 2016 Share #8 Â Posted September 12, 2016 Hello Stuart, Â It is not good to joke about ways of telling if mushrooms are poisonous or not. Some people might take you seriously. Â Some varieties of Amanita are among the most poisonous mushrooms on the Planet. Â If someone were to make a pot of these & serve them to their friends for lunch there could well be a number of very dead people. Â It is important that people remember that any unknown mushroom should be considered to be dangerous until it has been shown to be safe. Especially because, like with snails: Mushrooms that can be safely eaten in 1 region may be highly toxic in another. Â For example: There have been a number of instances where refugees fleeing the fighting in the Middle East have eaten toxic mushrooms they found in Europe that were perfectly safe eating mushrooms when gathered in the Countries they came from. Â Best Regards, Â From your very good friend, Â Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iduna Posted September 12, 2016 Share #9 Â Posted September 12, 2016 Thank you all for commenting, and thanks, Iduna, for noticing the blueish tint. That was sloppy processing on my part and it shouldn't have been there. Here's what the mushroom should have looked like. Brent, Â aha, you corrected the WB which makes a wonderful picture now, the enticing yellow...But I really meant the the blue is giving it this fairy tale magic and this is equally good in my opinion.

JuanLeon Posted September 12, 2016 Share #10 Â Posted September 12, 2016 Beautiful mushroom. For me the corrected color version works better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share #11 Â Posted September 13, 2016 It's interesting how the brain can "self-adjust" color (or colour) perception. I initially didn't even notice the blueish cast but after doing the correction and seeing them side by side I was really surprised at the difference.
