Graceful Bolete

Velvety, pinkish red cap with incredibly soft and spongy pink-gray pores. Graceful stipe that was slightly darker than the cap. The stipe narrowed toward the apex and had longitudinal grooves.

This shot is so sadly blurry, but I've posted them anyway for the sake of documentation.

This one marks your 300th species intro, and well over 500 photographed, in a mere 5 months time. That's an EPIC achievement. Posted 7 years ago

  Whoa! An interesting mushroom to mark that achievement with! I loved this mushroom and wish I could have gotten it in focus! The gnats and mosquitoes were so vicious in this location though, and I couldn't hold steady. Hopefully I'll see it again! Posted 7 years ago

    On this specimen, the start of the hat towards the end of the stem is a pretty deep depth of field to cover. You got the right part in focus though. And lol I definitely know that frustration when hyper focusing on a closeup of macro and insects keep crawling over you. Posted 7 years ago

      Thanks, I’m sure you experienced more than your fair share of insects pestering you in the places you’ve traveled! Posted 7 years ago
