Found a fairly large mushroom today. Almost the size of a socces ball!

Hi Mark, : )

That is an amazing looking mushroom! Almost predatory... : )) I wonder if it's an edible species?

The shape and condition reminded me of a worn baseball glove rather than a soccer ball.


Hi Marcell, : )

Wonderful lighting and perspective of a very cute-looking mushroom. It feels like one Gargamel and a couple of Smurfs are going to appear out of nowhere. : ))


Hi Ken, : )

That one is so reminiscent of a fallen dry leaf in colour that it almost is camouflaged most successfully. Nicely found!

Thanks for sharing all,

Actually I'm not sure that these are mushrooms, but I guess they are:

No idea what those are Marcell, but I like both images a lot. I like the way you used the light to create the dark background and luminous subjects. Great work, truly!

Thank you Mark!

I spent the last week in Allgäu and expected more mushrooms but didn't find so many. I will post later some photos of the landscape and the Castles in another topic.

Managed to identify them. Thew are Xylaria hypoxylon. "It is known by a variety of common names, such as the candlestick fungus, the candlesnuff fungus, carbon antlers, or the stag's horn fungus." (from wikipedia)

Beautiful, Marcell. : )

The colour and the details of puffy/creamy look of the one on the left is neat. The bright orange colour is amazing. Does it mean that it's poisonous?

Lovely pov Marcell, and I like the autumn trees in the background as it really sets the time of year.

Thanks Birma and Aster. I wanted to go back today to re-shoot it with blue sky, but no luck (with the blue sky)

One from two years ago with the same concept. I used sony a100 with a sigma 15mm fisheye lens and a single wireless 5600 HSD flash:

I hope that I get this right. If I've made an error with file size etc - mods feel free to delete please.

It was taken some time ago on Kodachrome 64 then scanned so there may be a quality issue.

Your thoughts welcome.
