Yesterday evening, I was lucky, I have found a full bag of Trumpets, and they are tasty !

---

English name : Trumpet of Death or Black chanterelle. Scientific name : Craterellus Cornucopioides.

This mushroom gets its name from its shape resembling the classical cornucopia. It is dark coloured, almost black and looks rather unattractive, but reportedly has a very good flavour. It is hard to find because of its liking for dark and sheltered places.

This mushroom is edible and very good in sauce or omelette. We like very much in Savoy !

---

Canon Ixus 400 in mode : macro-auto-spot. No flash, no tripod.
Slightly modified colors (because it was a bit dark in the evening), cropped and resized for TN.

well they are really trompets of death,
Very good composition, very good colours too, fantastic job you did here Christian

They do not look tasty Christian. I think you captured the texture and colours very nicely on a difficult subject. Great work.

Very nice Christian, I've never tried these mushrooms si I'll have to take your word for how tasty they are. Great picture and good note.

I have also never tasted them and I would like to.
Although this is a nice photo, the first one you posted with this mushroom was very artistic and difficult to beat. This one is more descriptive with the top. Good compliment.

Estos ya parecen de plastico Christian... no lo serán... no?
Excelentes ejemplares nuevamente los exhibes con muy buena nitidez y colorido, con un POV que permite apreciarlos perfectamente y con una completa nota complementaria.

Ceux-ci paraissent déjà de matière plastique Christian... ils ne les seront pas... non?
Exemplaires excellents récemment tu les exhibes avec clarté très bonne et coloré, avec un POV qui permet de les apprécier parfaitement et avec une complète note complémentaire.

You had a lot of value with these, First you photographed them, and then you ate them. You captured them well and the DOF/color is great.

Thanks for posting
