10 fungi, a snail and a frog (macros #308, 16 foto)
Hola, amigos! Today I share some mushroom impressions I brought from my summer vacays. All of this was shot at the village to the south to St.Petersburg, Russia. Most of the pictures taken with Canon 350D and Tamron 60mm lens, and a few taken with my primary line-up, Canon 5D camera and Sigma 150mm lens. Only natural lighting was used.
The up-side of this polypore mushroom do not look like so intrigue and attractive and mesmerizing, like the downside one, which is a pure maze.
A Woolly milkcap, it has such a nice 'whooly' texture. A cropped fragment of same mushroom (no scale down) shows it pretty well. Now you got the idea why did it receive its name. It was a pure pleasure to observe its growing, developing and aging... I took two dozen of pictures. This mushroom doesnt change drastically its shapes during its grouth, tho.
The mushroom was standing alone in the field of dead spruce leaves, and resembled an elves' house ready to accept habitants a lot.
A matured puff-ball.
A snail grazing on an old slimy decaying Russula fungus. I was attracted very much by this fungus texture: it cracked and its cap was scattering away, like a flower's petals, not an everyday kind of a sight.
A coral mushroom.
A little froggie on a mushroom. Isnt it nice? Look, how one little extra details alters all the ensemble, and makes the picture become to sing? I have shoot a lot of amanita mushrooms back in Auguest, they are quite spectacular without any dead flies around or without the frogs... but if a frog included, it momentarily levels up your capture. So... what I can say to my brother photographers? If you grabbed a camera and goint to the local woods to take some fungi macros, you better put into your bag a dozen of frogs and snails as a props, this will benefit your pictures a lot!!
UFO (unidentified fungi). We had a whole 'strawberry fields' of this specie back in August.
Again, UFO (another kind of them).
Those are grilled, and very very tiny. Appeared at different flowerbeds in our garden.
An Ugly milk cap - with a froggie bonus.
Now, its time to part ways, I wish you good luck -- and Good Hunting!

I note that you made a general description of the main morphological and biophysiological characteristics of the fungi, likewise, you referred to the substrate rich in organic matter product of spruce leaf litter and other higher plants that contribute to form the ecosystem Fungi.
As if that were not enough, he has been fortunate enough to encounter a frog and snail on some fungi. Undoubtedly, you are a lover of these details of biodiversity with its ecological relationships, your photographic work and publication have creativity, originality and substantial value.

uh, thank you, Ulises! with love from cold cold Russia, hehe.
yes, I love mushrooms a lot, and as I exercise in taking macro photos, I educate myself about them strongly during the last few years. since there are 7 (seven!) billion of mushrooms species on Earth, it is a long end an endless process :)))
I am founder of 'Fungi Lovers' community here on Steem blockchain, by the way.
the things you say about becoming an official member of the community... well, I guess the seats are already taken in the team, right? I am a contributer of a good, original content, I hope thats enough.

thank you a lot for your time and a surprisingly nice feedback!
Your work is very valuable, its quality is impeccable; I really liked all the images and their description. I will visit your community, I could make some contributions. I am a specialist in environmental sciences, with some documentation I could get started in the kingdom of Fungi.
The Steemingcurators community is in process of restructuring and growth, it is a matter of accessing the Discord and talking with the administrator @cryptokannon; a representative for Russia would be ideal. We are all betting on the same thing, the sustainable and self-sufficient growth of the Steemit community and Blockchain Steem in general.
I am from Venezuela, what part of Russia are you from? Russia is one of the countries I want to visit and spend a well-deserved vacation.

I live at the second biggest megapolis - St.Petersburg - which is known as 'the cultural capitol of Russia' - in the past it was the residence of Russian emperors, and all their governing offices. a lot of palaces, museums, places of intrest to see. nice historical architecture (well-preserved). the city is also named as 'the Northern Venice'. I'd say it is a good 'parade display' to have a look at Russia, which is definitely not the same as this city, hehe. we have a lot of tourists all around the world. the climate is a weak spot; if you will plan a visit, note the best time is from May to July, other seasons the weather can be pretty shitty (rains and no sun). I hope this info was useful.

The moving description of the interesting St. Petersburg fills me with enthusiasm and desire to travel soon. The exchange of geographical, cultural, social and historical information is very important. I appreciate that you have taken the time to share these significant aspects with me.
Good day my friend.

well, that is my pleasure. I definitely understand all these moments about changing geographical, cultural, social environment - it can be very refreshing and cool!
I assume, the financial aspect can be important and maybe even the key one, too! Russia is not the cheapest country, but, a lot of things are simple and cheap here, so it may influence your decision. I do not have any figures at my hands, to compare. It is you, who will decide. But if the cost of the travel be the same or comparable, Spain and Italy would be far better options for the travel to Europe. Unless you intrested exactly in checking Russian land, of course.
Anyway. During the last few days, you are the second person who tells me about the dream of visiting my country. I will definitely post more stories and photos of the city and its beautiful historical aspects / places of intrestet, having this in mind. All the best - and stay healthy! @ulisesfl17

В моём рейтинге первое место получает улитка. Передайте при случае ))
кх-грммм..... я.... все с вами мне теперь ясно, грибов вы не любите :/
оная же улитка от своих летних трудов по скоростному поеданию сыроежек, а также копуляционной горячки,- давно уже вкушает отдых и уползла в заслуженную зимнюю спячку. но в мае-июне, я обязательно передам ваши добрые слова или ей самой, или ее наследникам!

грибы меня в основном интересуют в виде солёных чёрных груздей ))
