Hello Chris,

Beautiful composition with a great surrounding of the fungi made of old leaves and mosses. Excellent POV, DOF and sharpness. Excellent exposure and great colours.
Cheers,

Hello Chris,
Lovely shot of the Potato fungus. It does look like a charred potato. Excellent POV,DOF and Sharpness.What you said is true - the green velvety leaves and ferns gives a good contrast and make a pretty background.
TFS & regards,
Smitha.

Hi Chris. I must admit fungi is not my cup of tea as we say in England. But this picture is first class all the same. The detail and colours are first class. you have used the light so well. I shall have to start looking at fungi in a different way from now. TFS.

Hi Chris,
Wonderful close-up shot of this fungi with very impressive sharpness and details. Lovely colours and lighting. I like the natural surrounding and the fragrance of moist forest cover. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.

Hallo Chris
Time is rather limited today for a proper comment, but I cannot pass without saying a few words. I have never seen something like this fungi and it is extraordinarily and very interesting to look at. What I like most in this image is the lovely and bright greenery in the foreground. Thanks for sharing this strange but fascinating subject.
Kind regards.

Hi Chris,
Wonderful shot, excellent colors, great focus. A top photo.
Taxonomically: I checked out this specie on the link You gave and on other sites. Never thought this belongs to Boletaceae family. On this photo it seems like similar to for example a Scleroderma.
I bookmark You as one of my fave photographers, because - fungi or not - I like Your work very much.
Best regards from the heart of Europe, László
