Another shot from our walk in the woods today. Salamanders and Mushrooms! Here's one of the mushrooms.

Nikon D90, Nikkor AF50mm/f1.8 @ f4, 1/320 sec, ISO 200.

Nice! I like the detail on the white cap and stem. Makes me wish I could bounce some light up to lighten the shadow but that's probably just me.

Really like the contrast with the forest floor.

I think that is Macrolepiota rachode.

Oh wow! Very interesting shroom! Nice shot, I like it. Nice and crisp. About how big was that?

I'd say it was about 9 inches tall.

Wow! Ive never seen one so massive! Not tall, anyway.

I had never seen one like this either. I thought is was pretty awesome looking mushroom. They eventually start to flatten out on the top instead of being round like that.

Kinda puts you in the mind of smurfs or some fairytale doesn't it?
