Agaricus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Agaricus is a large and important genus of mushrooms containing both edible and poisonous species, with possibly over 300 members worldwide. The genus includes the common ("button") mushroom (Agaricus bisporus), and the Field mushroom (Agaricus campestris) the dominant cultivated mushrooms of the West.
Members of Agaricus are characterized by having a fleshy cap or pileus, from the underside of which grow a number of radiating plates or gills on which are produced the naked spores. They are distinguished from other members of their family, Agaricaceae, by their chocolate-brown spores. Members of Agaricus also have a stem or stipe, which elevates the pileus above the object on which the mushroom grows, and a partial veil, which protects the developing gills and later forms a ring or annulus on the stalk.

Ciao Jose, beautiful fungi with good natural colors, great details and splendid sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Buena luz y colores muy reales Jose. Este Agaricus que nos presentas tiene mucho parecido con el que se comercializa en mi País y que es cultivado en interiores, llamado champiñón.
Interesante ángulo que permite ver parte del somprero,el pie y su anillo y las láminas claramente.
Un saludo y gracias por tus amables comentarios: J. Ignasi.

Hello Jose,
Now this photo makes my mouth start to water. This particular one looks like the field mushrooms that I gather every year near home, they are scrumptious when sauteed in butter.
Super detail and very natural coloration. I like the low POV and great DOF you managed to capture!!

Hi Jose.
Very nice, clear and transparent shot of the cute scene. Colours are fine and clean, details and sharpness across the whole frame are stunning too. I also like wonderful low POV and composition of the shot. Well done and all the best.
Alexei.
