Prior to going through todays images I still had a few from last weekend to sort and came across this one...
Still have to get an ID but it could be the same as Tony posted a few days ago which I think is a Shaggy Pholiota. So many taxa it is always difficult so a generic ID often has to suffice.
All the best

This is gorgeous! The lighting and background are superb.

I really like the green grass too - nice composition and perfect DOF control.

Brett from Tony's Mac..!
Really nice image Phil and well processed.. However not sure about the stem on the right hand side..? I did notice a couple of DBs as well (at least 3) Otherwise up to your usual very high standard.

Nice fungi series Phil.
I might try some myself if it stops raining tomorrow.
Were the specimens actually growing in the moss in situ so to speak .?
Cheers

I think we are all in for a wet and windy day tomorrow.... all the specimens are in their natural habitat, it is a Kent Wildlife Trust Reserve, which is an ex Lafarge gravel quarrey, certain less accessable areas consist of very sandy top strata with poor drainage, these damp conditions promote a good growth of various mosses and fungi, often with enhanced colouration...
Speak soon (may be heading up your way some time soon)

Hi Phil

Can't help though with an i d, sorry

I would lose the white stem on the RHS and there are a couple of dust bunnies

Another fine Fungi shot Phil, lovely lighting and perfect comp, though I agree with Ian re the white stem.

It would have been preferable, to me anyway, for the right hand stalk to be in focus rather than lose it. A great POV and spot-on exposure.

Another beautifully lit scene. Fantastic.

Superb image Phil. Agree about the stalk, but it doesn't detract from the main subject. Like it loads, and once again it is far better than my efforts on the day.
