Beautifully captured, with the habitat in the field of view.

Are you as frustrated as I am with identifying fungi? It's so bloody hard.

By the way, I'm working on a new list, has a few shots from you as well:

  The field of view was an experiment. Normally for mushrooms I use my 90mm lens, but this time I tried the wide angle lens at its widest (8mm). I am pleased with the result so I am going to try that more in the future.
  
  Nice list!
  And yeah, identification is hard. I would have posted more fungi if I would only get them identified easier. Posted 11 years ago, modified 11 years ago

    Feel free to post them anyway, maybe somebody else is able to help, and unidentified species are still welcome anyways. Posted 11 years ago

I am sorry, I removed the identification. I'm sure it is not Boletus edulis, but I can't see what it is.:( Maybe Paxillus involutus, or milk cup? The photo is beautiful! Posted 11 years ago

  You are right that it is probably not the boletus edulis. I checked the Paxillus Involutus you mentioned and that one looks much more alike. The milk cup matches shape and habitat, but has a bit or reddish color and this mushroom was plain brown. So I think now it is indeed the Paxillus Involutus, or at least it is the best match and way better then the edulis.
  Thanks for your help! Posted 11 years ago

The Poison Pax

"Paxillus involutus", commonly known as the brown roll-rim, common roll-rim, or poison pax, is a basidiomycete fungus widely distributed across the Northern Hemisphere. It has been inadvertently introduced to Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and South America, probably transported in soil with European trees.
