A perfectly detailed beautiful macro study Steve, the mossy substratum and the dark BG enhance the fine composition nicely. TFS this rarely seen scene my friend.
Cheers,

Irrespective of the ID of these mushrooms, they sure are an impressive bunch, Steve. Growing amidst those dense and moist mosses, they look so healthy and fresh.
Their shapes too are very interesting -- sort of artistic in the abstract sense.
Your old camera has served you well -- then and now. You can't find faults with this wonderful picture you took with it in 2007.
Thanks and regards.

Hi Steve,

This picture of the Coral Fungi didn't come out just okay - it is excellent! The colors and details are wonderful. Fascinating how they grow in the wet moss. They show up perfectly against the dark background. The composition is superb.

No, Steve, I think I don't have any other ideas... Ramarias are very hard to identify macroscopically and I'm quite weak in this genera. Photographically seen a good pic, even with the flash, very nice contrast between the fungus and the bg, quite an artistic shot. Congrats and tfs.
Cheers, László

Steve-

This is just so WRONG! This organism needs to be underwater! Why would a coral like this have tree leaves around its base?

Biology sometimes is the weirdest science. I've never heard of these before, but have seen many pictures of corals looking much like this. I suspect you did not intend this, but you even have some blurry flash reflections, especially in the black far background, which look just like the marine detritus that always seems to be present in deep underwater images.

It makes me feel submerged just looking at it- my sense of incongruity is overwhelming.

Many thanks for this bizarre experience.

Hello Steve,
Nice capture of a coral fungus with great use of flash to provide good illumination as well as a sharply contrasting dark Bg. The light reflecting from the dead Notofagus leaf is a little nit though. Otherwise this is perfect.
Thanks and all the best,
Ivan
