Coprinus plicatilis
Synonym: Parasola plicatilis

I already posted a strange unopened specimen a long time ago HERE.

Some info:
Pileus : Cap 1-3 cm broad, narrowly ovoid, becoming conic, expanding to broadly convex or plane, the disc sometimes slightly depressed; surface smooth, translucent-plicate or ribbed, yellow-brown at disc fading towards the margin, becoming grayish overall in age except at the center; flesh very thin, fragile; odor and taste indistinct.
Lamellae : Gills free, subdistant, narrow, pallid, then gray, finally blackish, not deliquescing.
Stipe : Stipe 2.5-6.5 cm long, 1-2 mm thick, equal, round, thin, fragile, hollow; surface smooth, pallid; partial veil absent.
Spores : Spores 9.5-12 x 6-8.5 µm, elliptical, smooth with an apical pore; spore print black.
Habitat : Solitary to scattered in grassy areas, disturbed ground or well-decayed wood chips; fruiting all months of the year when moisture is available.
Edibility : Inconsequential.
Comments : This delicate Coprinus rates a 9.5 on the 10 point "fragility index," and collecting it in one piece can be a challenge. It is characterized by a translucent, pale grey cap with a yellowish-brown disc and free gills that do not deliquesce. Fruiting bodies typically grow to maturity and die all within a few hours, often replaced by fresh crops on succeeding days if the weather remains moist.

I took the info from THIS site.

Hope you like!

Hola A ambos.
Muy bonita foto, parece un pequeño paraguas. Me gusta el centrado y la nitidez de la imagen.
Saludos

Hola Amigos,
Impecable imagen de este hongo paragüita. Por mi casa hace unos mese salieron uno casi iguales, pero lamentablemente entre el césped y las fotos no me salieron bien. Muy bien logrado!

Hola Felipe/Cristina,
Esta seta me parece especialmente bonita. Su sobrero que parece de cartón y su pie tal esbelto son muy estéticos y la foto está en su punto. El punto de vista y la luz setán de lo más logrados.
Saludos, José M.

Bonsoir Felipe & Cristina
L'ouverture est très bien dosée, juste pour obtenir la profondeur de champs idéale, avec une très beonne netteté de l'ensemble du chapeau et du pied. Une espèce très délicate, magnifiquement photographiée.
Salutations

Hi Filipe

Simple but very effective!
I really love this classical shape of this fungus...it must me the Rolls Royce of the mushroom world :))
The details here are terrific and very sharp and the contrast with the BG is great!
Excellent lihting and composition, too.

Hola Felipe

Buenisima la foto, muy buena la iluminación teniendo en cuenta que son lugares con poca luz, espectacular el sombrerito que tiene párese de papel y como con un tallo tan fino pareciera aguantar todo el peso.

Como me dijiste en algún momento la 717 es una cámara como pocas yo hoy en día tengo una reflex pero la sony me acompaña a todos lados.

Un abrazo.

Jorge Hulin

Fantastic little umbrella for bugs. :)
Perfect exposure, details, colors. Another superb shot of You. This is a common specie, but very difficult to photograph, due to its ephemerical life. Un saludo, László
