Todays special: frozen mushroom with a sprinkling of ice
No snow yet, but at least it is freezing overnight now in The Netherlands, so I went out to take some photos with cold fingers of cold mushrooms with cold crystals in a cold peat bog.
Near the ground in the shade, everything was still frozen during day time:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO400, f5.6, 1/8s
Everything was covered with hoarfrost:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO400, f4, 1/8s
This mushroom wisely chose the sunny side of a tree to grow on and had defrosted by the time I got there:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO800, f2.8, 1/8s
The Shrek's ear lichen, however, didn't escape the ice:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO400, f5.6, 1/13s
Here's a close-up of the crystals:

Finally some wintery stuff to look at! I hope we'll get some snow soon.
Beautiful frozen mushrooms!
Thanks! Blue fingers from photographing them as well.
I had a similar problem today)
Maybe we need huge cameras with big dials and buttons so we can operate them with gloves on.
Maybe )
Amazing photos of the frozen mushrooms, @ocrdu!
Thanks!

I really like that second photo. That little mushroom is tucked in there so well, but it wasn't quite enough. So tiny!
A brave one. Many are cold, but few are frozen (Matthew 22:14).
I'll have to suggest that passage to some folks I know, lol.
Wow, great captures @ocrdu!!!
Thank you!
@ocrdu yes, it's cold brrr - nice shots of the ice :D

Time to get the winter coats out.
Wowwww, I love this! Thank you for sharing. I haven't ever seen an icy mushroom alive in nature before. So cool :)
Thanks for resteeming!
I'm not sure how long mushrooms survive this sort of thing, but they sure look nice while they are standing.
I agree, very interesting!
