Sulphur tuft cluster on moss-covered tree This is a HDR of 3 bracketed images, the 1st time I used my new tripod in the field. This scene also taught me something about fungi: timing matters. I returned to the exact same spot 2 weeks later, only to find absolutely nothing there at all. Not a single trace of them. I'm sure they were not removed by humans as there is no point in doing so, and this is a remote area of wild growth (where I shouldn't even be, I was effectively trespassing).

    Lovely shot, as you know I am no lover of HDR but you keep it subtle, I would never have guessed.
    it is amazing how quickly these little fungi can disappear but some of the bigger bracket fungi seem to hang around forever.
    By the way, I have reported you to the authorities ;)     Posted 11 years ago

      It was mostly a tripod test, HDR does not add much in this particular scene. The authorities in the Netherlands are nothing to be afraid of :) Posted 11 years ago

The Sulphur tuft

''Hypholoma fasciculare'', commonly known as the sulphur tuft, sulfur tuft or clustered woodlover, is a common woodland mushroom, often in evidence when hardly any other mushrooms are to be found. This saprophagic small gill fungus grows prolifically in large clumps on stumps, dead roots or rotting trunks of broadleaved trees.
