Hello!

Excellent shape of Sombrero - mexican hat prestented by old mushroom probably from Mycena family, photographed in low light conditions, in the forest floor. Tripod and CPL used.

Maybe info below don't "fit" to 'nature' category but it is always good to know something else also;)

"In English-speaking countries sombrero typically refers to a type of hat originating in Mexico. The English word sombrero is a loan word from Spanish, where the term is used to refer to any hat with a brim. It derives from the Spanish word sombra, meaning "shade" or "shadow". Spanish speakers outside Mexico refer to what English speakers call a Sombrero as a "Mexican hat" (sombrero mexicano)."

Picture was taken early autumn this year near Olsztyn, Poland.
I hope You will enjoy viewing.

Cheers!

Hi Adrian,

It looks just like a sombrero! Beautiful macro of this lovely mushroom with excellent details of the cap. I love the colors and shadings. The fallen leaves on the ground make a nice background.

Witaj,
Ten mizerny grzybek ladnie pokazany, dobrze wykorzystane swiatlo dla oddania trojwymiarowosci.
Pozdrawiam, Pawel

Hi Adrian,
Excellent capture of this sombrero like mushroom. I don't know the ID either, but DOF and exposure are very good.
