Nominated for the “Pay it forward” group by Patricia L. Ballard who had this to say about it: / “She’s made something of incredible beauty out of the inside of a mushroom cap. The colour, composition, and lines are all just amazing.” Thankyou Patricia and everyone for your wonderful comments and support. I am so very pleased that so many have gained pleasure from this image.

The gilled-underside to Pleurotus dryinus, the Vieled Oyster. / This is a mushroom favorite of the Many-headed Slime mould. I have been photographing this particular grouping for several days now to record the deterioration and take over of the slime. / I finally felt bad and ‘rescued’ 4 off this patch….....the stem was only infected on one and that was easily cut off. / Soaked them in hot salty water then rinsed in cold….....diced up and then sauteed in salt-free butter (already salty from the soaking). / They’ll be added to a rice dish tomorrow with some wild onions, goat milk, ground almonds, and parmesean cheese. / <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> / Thank you everyone so much for viewing, favoring, commenting! This has been one of my most successful images to date ever taken. It’s been featured 4x and added as the month’s avatar to 1:1Macro Phototgraphy Group for the month of June! / Very flattering and I’m so glad you all enjoyed it as much as I still do!
At this time of the year the Amanita muscaria (also known as fly agaric) grow in profusion in the pine needles of this forest in the Blue Mountains (NSW, Australia). I believe they have magic qualities if eaten (I can imagine!!) ... there must be some very happy little creatures around as a lot of the mushrooms have holes in them! This time last year, I shot Persistence in the same area. Featured in Retired and Happy Group in May 2009 Landscapes Trees Cards EOD Rusty Flowers Architecture Macro CatchAll DM

Found these guys too cute to not shoot, they are about 25mm (1 inch) tall, and very delicate indeed. they seem to like the mossy areas at the base of trees, alive or dead. Found these in the national park, just North of Lorne VIC, on the Great Ocean Road. Canon 50D, 400mm.

THE SUBJECT: / A very rare find. Two fine specimens of the fruiting body of the Entoloma hochstetteri fungus in the natural light of a slightly overcast autumn day. THE LOCATION: / Along a track in the Kattang Nature Reserve, Dunbogan, NSW, Australia. THE MAKING of ‘The Blues Brothers #1 (Entoloma hochstetteri)’: / Out on a fungi hunt with a Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club mate, we were only 150 metres from the car park when we saw the beautiful blue of these fungi poking up from the leaf litter. / As I had never seen any blues in my almost four years of fungi hunting, I was as excited as a kid at Christmas with this find. / This photograph is brought to you after much pain and discomfort as I was bitten by a bull ant, my mate was bitten by a leech and we were both bitten by mosquitoes. The things we do…..! / Fuji S9600: RAW, Super macro, Manual settings of f/3.6 @ 1/60sec, Manual focus, ISO80, Timer, Camera on ground. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3. Visit the Fungi & Lichen collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more fungal delights. NOTE: / I lightened the image slightly and gave the saturation a little tweak for printing on Ilford Galerie Smooth Gloss Media and it did a marvellous job on the blues.
