Beautiful shot of this interesting fungi. I wouldn't mind having a closer look at it (made a workshop to show you what i meant), but I can see why you didn't crop it too much - it's nice to see it in its natural environment. Good sharp details (you used flash, didn't you?).
Thanks for sharing.

A nice interesting fungi, I too think I would have moved in closer. Also maybe image sharpnes is not what it should be
