Hi Felipe,

Awesome macro shot with fantastic colors and details. Those who don't know this fungus can't imagine how small it is. :)
Technically much better photo than the ones on "Roger's mushrooms" site You mentioned in Your note.

Excellent work, my Friend. Gracias, saludos, László

Hello Felipe and Cristina,
What an interesting species you've found here! I can't recall having seen it or perhaps it was too small to be noticed! This is a great macro showing the interesting details very clearly in a fine composition. Good natural colours too.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hi Felipe and Cristina,
A nice capture of this beautiful fungi. Excellent composition and details. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hello Felipe,
A technically excellent image, your usual very high standard :)
Your "library" of fungi images is unsurpased mf..
I would add that you always know/pic the perfect POV, maximizing the images net value. Also an aptly named fungi. Along with the flattened eggs left, I see a birds beak in that right fruit body..Amazing!
Very well done,
Howard

Hi Felipe

What a weird looking fungi, I have not seen these before.

Hello my old friend,
Alfter a long time, I come back and it is nice for me to discover your photos and this incredible mushroom that you have very well capted.
The "+++" : composition, great subject, POV, sharpness, exposure, warm colors, instructive complementary note...
The "-" : nothing or perhaps I am jalous :-))
Congratulations dear Felipe and thanks for sharing,
Christian
