We have had a really dry end of summer and fall season so far and the amount and kinds that are usually around have not come up this year.
We have some rain moving in the beginning of this week, so it should help bring the dampness that they need to grow.
These little ones were shot with the Tamrom 90mm macro lens. I didn't notice the bug on the little mushroom until I was processing the image.
They only last for a couple days at the most, though. When I went back the next day to get some more shots, they were already beginning to decay.
Stumble It!
Digg It!
Love the mushrooms, bonus you got the bug!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous shot Kathy.I never noticed the insect either until I looked at the larger image. It's a delight isn't it to find something extra in your photo's that you weren't expecting.
ReplyDeleteKML, this is so funny. Again we have thought alike! Both are newest posts are about fungi!!!!
ReplyDelete:-)
Beautiful mushroom picture! At one time our yard was full of them but haven't seen any lately. No rain either.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy -
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful shot -- you know I love macro! -- and your comment about the insect rang home to me. I've had that same experience of not noticing some tiny creature in a photo I took until after it was processed. That's one of the joys of macro photography.
Lovely mushrooms! They are such beautiful "creatures".
ReplyDeleteNo shrooms left here. Getting to late in the year.
LOL, I was going to take a photo of a new mushroom in my garden today. Gorgeous shot!
ReplyDeleteHi Bob - the bug was definitely a bonus!
ReplyDeleteThanks WFW - sometimes those surprises are most welcome!
ReplyDeleteLynda - I like what you did with yours - they are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dot! Perhaps you will get some rain soon - then watch them grow!
ReplyDeleteBobbie, Macro is one of my favorites too - it opens up a whole new world.
ReplyDeleteThanks Thomas - yeah, it won't be long before ours are gone too.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenty - I will be watching your site for your mushrooms!
ReplyDeleteI love mushroom images and this one is really nice. Wonderful work.
ReplyDeleteWow, Kathy, lovely. I love mushrooms too. I have some photos too, and I almost posted one, because I did not have anything for this Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, but then I found this nice place full of pumpkins. Never seen these mushrooms before, and I really like the yellowish tint, it really adds to the fall collection. Anna :)
ReplyDeleteBoy, I'm glad you caught them when you did. They make such a nice earthy image and the lighting is great. Cindy at Rosehaven Cottage
ReplyDeleteThank, Bernie!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anna! You pumpkins came out bright and beautiful - hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cindy - I really wish they would last a little longer. I missed a big bunch of them all coming out of one center. They were really pretty, white, with big brown gills underneath. I was a day or two too late when I found them - but there is always next year!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! great macro.
ReplyDeleteGood thing I didn't post my mushroom shot today - I'd have some stiff competition! Mushrooms are everywhere in my yard - sometimes they get to be about 6" across. I love wild mushrooms.
ReplyDeleteFabulous mushroom photo, Kathy!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a perfect picture and I've always been amazed by the mushroom. This one is flawless in my eyes. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting, Sandrine!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Serena!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliments and visit, Michele!
ReplyDeleteI hope you post some of your images, Peteej. It would be great to see a mushroom that large!
ReplyDeleteI love mushroom pictures, but don't enjoy getting on the cold wet muddy ground to take them. Yours turn out great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, AVCR8TEUR - sometimes the mushrooms don't smell to great either!
