Mushroom challenge? - 09-24-2009, 08:41 AM


With all the rain and cool temps, lots of fungi are popping up. Just wondering if anyone is up for a 'shroomers challenge...

The greatest variety?

The most attractive still life study?

The most interesting natural occurrence? (size, shape, location, fairy rings, etc.)


Edit...

I just checked the weather and it looks like clear sailing until late next week. So this challenge may be something we revisit as conditions change...

I was in Austin last weekend and so the coolest growth of shroomy fungus ever. Of course, I didn't take a photo even though my camera was in the car!

Oh man, this would have been fun. We had a whole bunch pop up in our backyard, but my husband got rid of them pretty quick cause I was paranoid my dogs would eat them, cause they are dumb like that! LOL

I'm more concerned my neighbors will eat the ones in my yard, along with a special "herb" salad.

I had a friend in high school who took a mushroom challenge, but it didn't have anything to do with photography.

Shoot your pics and get an anti-fungicide to keep them away. Years ago I had some problems with these. I didn't want them in my yard. They really do pop up over night.

I'd like to see time lapse photography on one.

That's nonsense. I didn't even know you in high school.
