Que suerte tenéis de poder encontrar hongos. En esta zona el año está siendo especialmente riguroso y apenas se ven hongos en los bosques excepto en la alta montaña. Un buen encuadre en tu fotografía con bellos colores.
Saludos Valerie.

Hi Valerie,
Splendid shot of the fungi with sharp markings and interesting shapes. I like the OOF BG too illustrating the natural environment. Great lighting and exposure. Excellent POV and very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hi Valerie.
I like your lowest POV and impressive vertical cropping with excellently selected DOF. You managed to show us not only nice fungi but and its beautiful surroundings.
I also like excellent lighting, perfect sharpness of the main object and nice green cover. My compliments and best wishes.

Bojour Valerie,
A very good capture!
I like so much the clear view you bring to us of this large mushrooms, as we can appreciate on the WS.
The composition made works great, with an appropriate DOF to nicely blur so softly the background.
Felicitacions et merci du partager.
Mes amities,

Bonjour Valerie!

It's almost autumn, more and more fungi around. Cute and very moody [for me] picture. It remainds me all passed autumns, golden light in forest, smell of fruits and fungi. Very nice composition, beautifull shot from microforest.

Hi Valerie,
Not sure about the ID either. You might just want to go for the Latin name. I really like you compsition and low POV in this photo. The fact that you got another fungi nicely blurred in the BG is perfect. Love the DOF and clarity in the photo a lot.
TFS,

Hello Valerie,
Puffballs sounds right to me since that's what they are!
Good details have been captured and the composition is simple but effective...
The pattern comes out very well, fine colour palette!
Greetings,

Hi Valerie,
Very nice and interesting photo, showing not a puffball, but an earthball (Scleroderma sp., most probably S. citrinum). This one's poisonous, causing gastrointestinal distress in humans and animals.
Nice POV, maybe a bit less DOF would be nicer, but I like the photo in this form, too. Tfs, regards, László

Hi Valerie,
I haven't shot many fungi, but I did shoot some similar looking "Puffballs" in my garden a few years ago..Nice detail, color, and light. Good use of DOF and the green moss provides a nice contrast in this comp :)

Valeri,
These are HIGHLY poisonous mushrooms. Dangerously TOXIC when inhaled. When they ripen they burst open & the insides fly out. Even animals that inhale this stuff get sick.
You are right; this is the Puffball. But it is HIGHLY poisonous.
GREAT PHOTOGRAPHY WORK.
Warm regards, Mario from Canada.
