Wonderful, Alex! I love the texture of the mushrooms and the bokeh lends a quiet mystery to the woods!

Great perspective too, there's nothing like hugging the earth when there's a photo to be taken. :)

wonderful picture, I think many mushrooms will be popping up here soon. We have gotten the rains after Earnesto and just when we had a spot of blue skies the rains came again.
The clarity of your image is quite amazing and the bokeh is beyond beauty. well done.
I have faved and tagged your picture with BRAVO. I'm inviting you to add this to the The Best: BRAVO. I rated your picture as world class & brilliant, both required by the group.

I don't know if you knew this, but you have the most "Interesting" ranked photograph with the tag "macro." The shot in question is another fabulous mushroom composition. My guess is that this one is destine for number 2!

Sebastian Niedlich (Grabthar) says:

Looking at the above comments I guess you could already tell that lying down with the worms was worth it. Just thought I'd mention it again. ;-)

xjyxjy says:

Looks like a parasol mushroom (in Swedish Stolt fjällskivling) Macrolepiota procera. Grows to an imposing size. Good to fry. The stem can be boiled to make stock. If you want to keep it, drying is a good way to preserve it. The dried stem can be ground into mushroom meal as a flavouring for soups etc.

Not only a yummy pic, but a yummy subject... :-)
