Thank you for the robust process you use to photograph fungi, it's hard work but extremely useful! Posted 5 years ago

  You're welcome Ferdy, and thanks :). I'm continually learning about how to document fungi and hope to add some spore prints and other things this coming season. Posted 5 years ago

    With spore prints do you mean from the microscope? Posted 5 years ago

      I do want to get photos of spores using microscopy, but that's not what I meant...I meant that I want to get spore prints (you place the caps on paper, they release spores, and then you can takes pics of the spores, etc. This info aids in ID). So, I would be able to add photos of the spore print, in addition to shots of the individual spores. Posted 5 years ago

What a beautiful shot, you can almost "see" the individual cells. Such texture and color. Very fresh. Posted 5 years ago

The False chanterelle

''Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca'', commonly known as the false chanterelle, is an orange funnel-shaped mushroom which has been confused at times with the true chanterelles, however recent work shows its affinity lies with the boletes in the order Boletales.
