Welcome all viewers.

First I want to thank You all for nice comments and criticques written to my work here, on TN.

This is my first collage here, so please be gentle;)..
In the beginning I wan't to tell that genre 'fungi' for this group isn't correct - one of species showed here belongs to Protista kingdom- top left corner.

Picture shows how different and beautifull species can be found in forest floor, not only flowers during spring time make the forest full of colours.
Species on the picture are:(from top left to bottom right)

- Lycogala epidendrum, commonly known as wolf's milk or toothpaste slime (PL: Rulik nadrzewny)

Kingdom: Protista
Phylum: Amoebozoa
Class: Mycetozoa
Order: Liceida
Family: Reticulariaceae
Genus: Lycogala
Species: L. epidendrum

- Romaria stricta, called Upright Coral (PL: Gałęziak zbity, koralówka sztywna)

Ramaria stricta, Upright Coral. The fruit-bodies of this fungus consist of many upright off-white stalks, branching towards the tip, and growing together in tufts. Their favourite habitat at the moment is newly spread wood-chip mulch, where they can occur in large numbers for the first year, then diminishing numbers over successive years, as they use up the nutrients they require. Thus this is a common fungus in parks and gardens, which we see more often now than in pre-wood-chip days. Some Coral species are poisonous, so it is best to avoid eating any.

- Calocera viscosa, commonly known as Yellow Stags-horn Fungus (PL: Pięknoróg lepki)

- Exidia saccharina called Jelly fungus(PL: Kisielec karmelowaty)


At the end it must be said, that all of this mushrooms (and Lycogala as well) are inedible, so it is much better to leave them in peace, just admire their interesting look in natural habitat.

I hope You enjoy watching...
Thanks for any comments for this collage.

cheers!!

Hello Adrian,

Superb composition with a beautiful collage. Excellent sharpness for every picture. Great variety of shapes, colours and textures. Very good light and colours.
Cheers,
Mariki

Hi Adrian,
I'm gentle not because it's a debut collage, but because this is a fantastic one! All pics are beautiful (maybe except for the lower right, which seems a bit overexposured) and makes an awesome color contrast and harmony overall. Very well done, my Friend. Congrats and tfs, also for the interesting note.
Cheerz, László

Hello Adrian
You have gathered a good collage of fungi. The details are sharp, colours are rich and vivid and you have good notes to go along with it all. Well done.

Hi Adrian,
a fascinating mycological collection here, each one vastly different form the next, showing the range and diversity that they come in. Good colouration, framing, exposure and details in each one. You've done a great job here, well done!

Hi Adrian,

A wonderful collage!!! It amazes me that all these beauties can be found on the forest floor. Each of the four shots are excellent with beautiful colors and fine details. I love the way you have arranged them.

Hola Adrian, creo que es un buen trabajo, tanto en presentación como en información(teniendo en cuenta tu corrección), en cuanto a las 4 fotografias, tienen 3 aspectos tecnicos comunes, buena nitidez, luz y color. Un saludo

Czesc Adrian!

Po prostu fantastyczny zestaw! Zadziwiajace bogactwo kolorow i ksztaltow, pieknie pokazane i skomponowane. Bardzo dobra notka. Trudno wybrac zdecydowanego faworyta, ale chyba sluzowiec podoba mi sie najbardziej.

Hi Adrian
Really nice collaged picture with different shape and color of fungi. Lichen and fungi is always interest me since I couldn't really see the detail of it without any macros taking shot. The color and contrast is really great showing the detail of them, thanks for the notes also

Dear Adrian,
Grand composite of colorful unique fungi.Bravo zulu for finding them out & posting to TN.

Hello Adrian,
This is a splendid collage showing what you can find on the forest floor especially in the autumn when the flowers are gone! All captures are very sharp and the colours striking. Very nicely done!
TFS and regards, Ulla
