Please could someone who knows their 'shrooms give me an id for the second and third images at http://www.wildlifeinpixels.com/macro1.htm

Common and Latin would the dogs tomooleys :biggrin:

Thanks as ever folks :wavey:

The third one looks like Sulphur Tuft (Hypholoma fasciculare) but I'm afraid I don't the second one. I downloaded View and Transfer NX the other day after speaking to you, thanks for that, just getting my head around it now :cool: :toast: .

Chris.

Thanks for that Chris - I thought it was but then wasn't too sure because the stems look thinner on the Sulphur shots I've seen elsewhere.

But I've no clue as to the other - obviously the shrews like 'em :biggrin:

Glad you downloaded those utils from Nikon - you'll be happy with them I'm sure if you can get your head around doing all your image changes in PS.

A couple of hours after we spoke I was playing with a Mac and Aperture - now THAT was REALLY something, will have to start saving many pennies :biggrin:

Thanks again Chris :toast:

To be honest, they both look like Sulpher Tuft! :eek:
It is a very variable species that can grow in single stems through to huge swarths with colours almost as varied as a pantone chart!
With ID of the 2500 species in this country often down to microscopic detail, its sometimes hard to tell.

Hi Johnathan - just looked that up on Rogers Mushrooms.com and I think it looks a dead-ringer for the first image :toast: :toast:

Any ideas though about the shrew-bitten fungi in the other image though, third one down on the page?

Thanks :wavey: :wavey:

Hi
To me they look the same , maybe one a younger specimen than the other.
Hard to tell from the viewpoint.
Nice pictures though :smile:
