Hello gals / guys,

Dedication: a couple of days ago I wrote to my Malaysian Friend foozi that I have a sunset fungi image in my archives and I share it soon. So, time came, and I dedicate the pic to the talented photographer and kind person named above. Foozi, thanks for being here and thanks for sharing Your great work!

ID specification: Xerocomus pruinatus (= Boletus pruinatus), a smaller bolete, belonging to the "chrysenteri" section of Xerocomus genus, where species are very difficult (but with a bit of experience possible) to isolate from each other without microscope. Distribution: Eurasia. Mycorrhiza with deciduous trees on slightly acid soil, especially with oak (Quercus sp., like on the pic) and beech (Fagus silvatica). Not common. Edible.

Story: we visit this park named "People's Garden" very often with my children, because there are great playgrounds in it + they can ride bicycle without any danger. On that August day we just started to go home, when I observed this fruitbody on the roadside (the distance between the fungus and the promenade was less than 2 meters), and it was awesome in the sunset lights.

Photo: little color correction, because I felt the "golden sunset tone" a bit too much, sharpening the fungus, gaussian blur to the background, framing, signing, re-sizing. I hope You'll like it.

Hello Laszlo,
I love the tones of browns and greens in this photo.
The underside of this bolete looks just like a Crunchie bar too.
A lovely environmental shot.
Cheers and thanks for shearing ;)

Hi Laszlo,
thank you very much for the dedication. Indeed it is such a big surprise to me as it worths a lot. Really appreciate it. Honestly I was thinking of posting one fungi for you, because I really appreciate your critique, tips on how to execute a good shot, encouraging words and also your knowledge on fungi itself. To me, it is such a friendship that touches me.
This fungi shot is exciting to me, the overall shot gives a graphical presentation of lines and colours.
The surrounding is very well kept, shown and instructive.
Most of all, the fungi is very unique and different. Thanks for kind thought.

Regards,
Foozi

Hi László,

This is just beautiful. The foreground colors and the green background contrasting well caught by the ray of the setting sun. Stunning display of nature image and I'm sure Foozi is so happy with this dedication.
