I found the similar type of mushroom during my night walk in the jungle previously. It is known to glow in the dark. Very interesting.

Hello Kean,
A lovely mushroom family has been captured!
The DOF is spot on and results in sharp fine dedtails in the subjects...
Pleasant light and the colony is well framed!
Greetings,

Hi Kean,
Very nice shot of thse Mushrooms with a very good low POV and nice DOF. Have done a workshop on this picture just to increase some light in the photo. I hope you find it useful.

It is a pity the DOF is a bit short, but getting this with 1/25 seconds and handheld means that you have very steady hands!
Interesting cluster, I like very much to see this little pearls from the jungle. Not many mushrooms friends in this places, or at least not many posts on TN, so thanks and regards, Felipe.

Hello Kean,

You have captured a lovely mushroom family. Very fine details. I like the low POV very much. I think you need more light in this photo. I like also the WS from Kirti M. But I think he use to much light. I´m agree with Extramundi that the DOF is a bit to short. But on the ontherside my compliments about the handheld shot. Natural colors. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day and TFS BOB

Kean,
They Look like many little umbrellas. Very beautiful image. good clarity and sharpness consider the low light. I like the composition as well. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks

Excellent composition ! Very nice exposure, super detail, good use of DOF to create a focal point of interest in the center tier of mushrooms. Wonderful POV. An altogether grand view of 'life in the undergrowth'.

TFS, Mish

Hello Kean,
what a nice mashroom macro shot. They are very crowded. Nicely composed. Exposure and details very nice. TFS, well done

Hello Kean,
I must say this is an excellent capture of this group of mushrooms.
The exposure is well managed and plenty of detail is clearly visible.
I'd love to know what they are,and learn more about luminescent fungi in general.
Great shot anyway!
Cheers
Steve

Hi Kean,

A little bit too dark, but otherwise a great shot of this fungi family. I'm more than sure this is a tropical Mycena - there's quite a few species of that genus which glows in the dark, while not having an extraordinary outlook at daytime. It's a pity this kind of mushrooms doesn't live in Europe...

Tfs, greetings from Hungary, László
