As I promised before. A fungus I shot this afternoon. I do have more of them.
I have to look up the name (if anybody knows it, would be nice).
I used my ring flash separated from my body from the right side.
50 mm
1/80 sec
F9.0
-1/3
ISO 200
C&C welcome as always.

Great Autumn feel to this one . I like it.
I don't recognise it but I'll have a look through the books.
Cheers

Nice shot Tom - an interesting specimen. No idea on ident though I'm afraid. Makes a change to see one past its best and all the better for it. Eric

Notoriously difficult to ID once they have gone past their best Tom, but at a guess it's likely to be a form of bolete.
Nice sharp image.

Well it has veil remnants on the stem and the 'spots' (scales) on the cap putting it in the Agaricus family you can also make out standard ribbed gills under the cap and not the 'sponge' form of a boleta.
From the size relative to the grass stems and the fact it is in field sward and it is quite large I would hazard a guess at an old Field Mushroom (Agaricus campestris)
No idea what Fungus it is Tom but a nicely composed image. Makes a change to see a photo of a fungus that is in less than perfect condition and yet still works very well.
Nice one.
