Thanks Paul, Frank, Joe, and Cotty for the kind comments.
Joe, it really does involve getting on your belly.
Ann, thanks for looking, and have a look here:
http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrobb/pictures/newer/shrooms1.html

Mike, those mushrooms were no more than two inches tall, so I was pretty
close with a long lens. That scene is a few feet deep, and I wanted it all
in focus, even if it meant giving up absolute sharpness.
This is an uncropped photo, BTW.

As an aside, I recently spent an hour in the woods in Hampshire with a
TV - chef, filming him and the reporter finding and collecting wild
mushrooms for one of his restaurants. I never knew the stunning variety
that one could come across in such a short walk. The forest was thick,
the light dim, with periodic and wonderful oases of brightness from the
overcast sky forming literally pools of calm light through which I could
filmed the subjects walking and talking.

Learned about nightcaps (!) and sebs - he went mental when finding two
of the most highly prized delicacies growing within inches of each other
(not the nightcap ;) and filming it all was a pleasure.

Later, after I had filmed him cooking them - we tried the simple dish
and it was impressive, as was the lunch he gave us in the restaurant.

But no such thing as a free lunch - the news service I work for has just
confirmed well over 400 redundancies.

I need to go back and collect some of those magic shrooms now :-)

What Frank said.

Plus, I'm assuming this is another HDR shot, as the depth and color  
seem better than any Fuji slide I've ever shot.


And might I add I never commented on the first fungi shot. Sorry. But  
I loved it so much I just know I have to now go out into the forest  
and crawl around on my belly in the soggy spongey to see if I can come  
up with something as satisfying.

Excellent, William!  You've really captured the feel and aesthetic of  
the interior undergrowth.  Just out of curiosity, why did you use f/ 
32? That seems very tiny.
