Colour Challenge: Mushrooms

in #colorchallenge7 years ago (edited)

I don't know what these are called, but you have to admit they are Quite Orange and most suitable for today's colour challenge:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO100, f8, 1/4s

This, I think, is a yellow brain aka golden jelly fungus (Tremella mesenterica) , gele trilzwam in Dutch:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO100, f8, 2s

Despite its name, I say this one is Quite Orange as well.

You can tell from the shutter speeds that I used my trusty miniature tripod for these photos.

Thanks for watching!

Orange Jack-O-Lantern Mushrooms And Puffball Mushrooms
The Ompha-lotus illudens commonly known as Jack-o-lantern mushrooms, which is a large orange mushroom found in clumps on decaying wood or buried roots or at the base of hardwood trees in Eastern North America. It’s gills often exhibit a weak blue green color bioluminescene and in low light the gills will glow underneath the mushroom head. The glowing is due to an enzyme Luci ferase and a compound called luciferin leading the emission of light much like a firefly. Yet, do not let the beautiful orange and the emission of glowing light seduce you with its beauty. Jack-o-lantern mushrooms are extremely poisonous and toxic to humans. The poisonous chemical compounds are illudin. Jack-o-lantern mushrooms eaten raw or cooked will cause severe simultaneous vomiting, cramps and diarrhea, which can last 2 days.
The Puffball mushroom is a member of several groups of fungi. The distinguishing feature of all puffball mushrooms is that they do not have an open mushroom cap with spore-bearing gills. Instead, spores are produced internally, in a spheroidal fruitbody pod. As the spores mature, they form a mass called a gleba in the center of the fruit body, Eventually the puffball develops an aperture an opening or dries and becomes brittle, and splits, and the spores escape.
The Puffball fungi mushrooms are called puffballs because clouds of brown dust-like spores are emitted when the mature fruitbody bursts, or in response to impacts such as those of falling raindrops or when stepped by an animal or human.

Thanks for that!

What a world class photography @ocrdu... thanks for sharing...... i enjoyed alot

Awesome captured.
Please visit my profile hope you will like my photography...@saan 💐💐

These are both really nice but I especially like the Jelly fungus.

Me too, but the name "yellow brain" is a bit lugubrious.

Lugubrious! Cool word :-)
I'll be looking for opportunities to use it.

So was I, to be honest.

Muy bonitas fotos, me gustan los colores estas hermosos :)

¡Gracias!
