Hi Andy,
Coprinellus micaceus (Bull.) Vilgalys, Hopple & Jacq. Johnson or something very closed to it. Nice photo, more or less proper flash usage (just a touch overexposed), beautiful contrast, but the pic is smaller in size than it should be and focus seems a little soft on the subject. Anyway, nice try.
Best regards from Ireland, László

Hello Andy,
I like this image alot, but I have to agree with Laszlo that it is pretty small. I'm not so sure that it is actually lacking detail, but the small size makes it really hard to see any unless I get very close to the monitor, almost straining my eyes.
I looked through your gallery and noticed some shots (such as your dragonfly) where you re-posted a larger version after your first upload, making quite an improvement.
The mushrooms are framed nicely and the colors are natural. I can see some tiny textured detail on the caps which tells me the focus was on, but as I already stated it is very hard to distinguish due to the small size of the photo.
Ron

Hello Andy - Although I can't help you about this ID, but it won't stop me to cherish the beauty of this attractive Fungi. Against such dark BG, these fungi colony looks splendid. Nice DOF with splendid light. Like foreground details too, Thanks for sharing. Best wishes
