ref1ect1ons Posted July 2, 2010 Thanks for sharing, I especially liked the green Dermocybe austroveneta, the jelly babies and the Marasmius alveolaris, which look/feel like elusive etheric beings. How did you identify each species? was it online learning or a guide book? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Mayonnaise Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) I use online references, but I also receive help from Shroomery and Mushroom Observer members. Edited July 2, 2010 by Lord Mayonnaise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
educate Posted July 2, 2010 I learnt a lot LM! Thank you for taking the time to upload all of those photos. They are absolutely brillant photos - great textures, colours and almost smells! I wish I knew that much about fungi to be able to ID all of those confidently. My favourite are the little thin stemmed Marasmius alveolaris. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Mayonnaise Posted July 3, 2010 Thanks guys! Here's another shot of the Marasmius alveolaris. They were extremely tiny and I consider myself lucky to have got a clear shot as I did. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazonian Posted July 3, 2010 I am in awe. You have really outdone yourself. It takes a lot of effort getting down at ground level to get those type of shots,which means you clothes become very wet and dirty. Dedication. I hope one day that you find an unidentified species and make it your own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magicdirt Posted July 3, 2010 Wow the detail in the last shot is amazing! I need a new camera. Then I'll need a few years to work out how to get the best out of it. Most people would have walked straight past those Marusmius or stepped on them. Great work again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rabaelthazar Posted July 3, 2010 Lord Mayonaise, is photography something you do professionally, or are you a hobbyist? I'm gobsmacked by the clarity of your shots and I guess I'm wondering whether I'd be able to achieve anything close to that just by buying a really nice SLR, or is there some magic or skill happening behind the lens too? Some of those shrooms are amazing!!! The Mycena sp. growing up the tree in your eighth post are so beautiful and the Dermocybe austroveneta in your 4th post look like freshly cut limes. Respect!!!
