      thanks, y'all! i'm glad i got the photo - after about 3 shots Ruby stepped over the log and sat down flomping her tail right down on top of the mushroom. it survived but several of the fruiting body heads were knocked off.

      Yes, very cool. I've not yet attempted macro photography with a dog--I'm sure it can be trying.

      I've posted this on the slime mould newsletter, where it is generating significant interest - you should get some extra hits...

      Nothing much to add, Kim, except that even hardened science geeks love a good image.
