Coprinus plicatilis

This is a Coprinus plicatilis, the specie I posted HERE, but captured in the early morning.

The frost of the night, which can be still seen in the photo, has curled up the cap making the fungus look like a kind of flower.

Hope you like!

F:14 - 1/13 sec. - Manual exposure

Hello Felipe and Cristina!

This is just lovely, I found one of these but wasn't happy with the shot. Yours looks magnificent - almost luminous. Wonderful exposure, great POV and nice sharp details

Hello Felipe and Cristina,
Your captures of fungi are really brilliant - it's almost as if you had them all in your garden, capturing as they grow and change with age!! Terrific capture of this Coprinus looking like a crystal glass! Razor sharp and against the reddish background it looks fantastic! Very nice composition too.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Has conseguido una gran toma de esta especie tan delicada, muy buena luz y punto de vista.
Salutacions cordials.

Hi Felipe,

This is a wounder full hot although I wonder at your ID. I would have gone for Coprinus lagopus or simlar.

Exquisite, Felipe.
You captured the delicate nature of this fungus beautifully.
The exposure is perfect and rings out the translucence very well.

Excellent image Felipe. You got a perfect exposure for this mushroom in an interesting position, I love the lighting on this. That's real interesting that it curls up like that too. :)

Hi Filipe

Another very beautiful and interesting fungus from you!
What a splendid shape and what a brilliant color! WOW!
The magnificationg on this one is terrific and the details it is presented with are crispy-clear.
Also the contrast with the BG is amazing and what i also like here is the direction the light is coming from - a perfect angle to light this little beauty.

Bravo and TFS
