Plantsoma Posted August 29, 2008 Does anyone know what species this mushroom is. I took the shot at Lapstone (lower BM) in late march a few years ago. Trying to ID some wild mushrooms to add to my photostream. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 MindExpansion Posted August 29, 2008 Can't help with ID but great photo man, really...mystical. Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 MORG Posted August 29, 2008 Not sure on ID... but maybe Coprinus sp? That's a pretty rough stab in the dark there. Beautiful shot. Is that an HDR composite? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 genki Posted August 29, 2008 any more information about the mushroom? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Plantsoma Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Shot was taken on a Sony DSC-P52, not a great camera but was pretty good then. The newish Sony H2 i have now is really good, next best thing to a SLR. Cleaned up the contrast on Photoshop with a Neutral Density Filter (NDF), and a softening filter. So pretty standard filters i use anyway on my film EOS SLR. EDIT: So, no its not a HDR composite, its a single frame. I just read up on HDR composites, interesting. Im new to photoshop, used a lot of film traditionally. Im really loving some of the plugins, ive only used photography filters so far though. Going to try a HDR composite soon! Cheers for the feedback, anyone got an ID yet?

0 Undergrounder Posted August 29, 2008 Yeah it certainly looks like a Coprinus, probably Coprinus comatus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Plantsoma Posted August 29, 2008 Looks like a Coprinus comatus doesn't it. The pictures ive found show a much shaggier cap which seems to have flaked off in my photos, possibly from rain? I seem to remember the dissolved inky ones around then too, so looks like the one. Heres a few pics of the cap: . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 mutant Posted August 31, 2008 (edited) Definately not C.comatus. Even though I don't quite know euro-aus fungal associations , since australia is the older-isolated region, but anyway I think its Coprinus picaceus, quite regular, not edible....

0 Plantsoma Posted September 1, 2008 Looks much more like Coprinus picaceus. Googled away for a while and found some identical looking pics, the texts looks all good too. Thanks all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
