Hi Gert,

This bowl shaped fungus is lovely. I love the colors with the top being shades lighter than the bottom. Looks wonderful against the green. Excellent details - the uneven rim is fascinating. A very good composition.

Hi Gert,
An interesting fungus and well framed. I do wounder about the reddish cast to the photo. The mosses and liverworts may look greener with some of the red removed.

Hello Gert,

Beautiful capture of this fungus. Very nice composition. Good focus and DOF. Excellent exposure. Great colours.
Cheers,

merhaba gert,
harika bir tür ve özellikle sporlarını dağıtma şekilleri çok güzel.

Thanks for this finely formed, delicate looking fungus image Gert, its warning colouration within its natural environment proves it is a poison bearing species, I think...

Another nice fungi shot Gert.
Perhaps not quite as sharp as the last one,but still well composed.
An informative note as well.

Hello Gert,

The fungi in your photo looks very fine. You have used a good DOF so that the whole fungi is shown in good details. I also like how the moss arround is looking.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hi Big Bro Gert,
