The triffids have arrived :-).
Cool photos though. I have a feeling that you're approaching your
'shrooms a bit like a researcher, though you mostly research light and
shadows.
I suppose you still have sufficiently warm weather over there so that
they can grow, these fungi. Gosh, it is +27C
I see you got one shot of the rarely seen pencillus eberhardii

The shots are wonderfully sharp. I find the first few here a bit too

The stump is about five feet in front of my front door. It's hard not to
notice things to photograph on it.

Larry,
The first 2 or 3 loose sight of the mushrooms.
The 4th and 5th look good again.
What I like best about the mushrooms you've shown
is the translucent nature of the mushrooms and
