Did she teach you how to forage for fungi? Regarding the camera, I still use my Canon Powershot G7 from time to time, but ever since I received a new Canon Powershot S95 last Christmas, that's the one I've been using. And loving. When it focusses on what I want it to. It can be stubborn and I haven't learned how to use the manual focus for macros.<br /><br />Thanks, hikeagiant. Yes, the fungi are fun, indeed. Some are beautiful, all are interesting. And sometimes I'd rather enjoy their beauty than know their names.<br /><br />Welcome nina, I'm so glad you stop by to visit. Thanks for taking the time to leave your comment.<br /><br />Hi Louise, glad you enjoy the fungi. This time of year, they're the most interesting and colorful things in the woods, now that most of the flowers are done blooming.Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-13806814341856022032011-09-02T10:43:23.626-04:002011-09-02T10:43:23.626-04:00Just look at all of the different mushrooms you fo...Just look at all of the different mushrooms you found!

The fungi colors and shapes are incredible - the more I try to identify them, however, the more I realize that I have to 'destroy' them to get all those particulars like gill structure, how the gills are attached, etc. Sometimes 'pretty yellow mushroom' just has to suffice :-) Pretty cool picture of the tooth structure - looks like a shark's mouth!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-57507038359303572011-09-02T06:46:20.935-04:002011-09-02T06:46:20.935-04:00As always your blog a relaxing replacement for the...As always your blog a relaxing replacement for the morning news. A long week of hurricane related stress at work is soothed by your colorful and well scripted photos (which by-the-way have me researching Canon cameras, thank you very much). The beautiful mushroom photographs and descriptions bring back vivid memories of my grandmother's farm on Wilton Rd. She would collect and dry wild mushrooms on tables in the sun soaked safety of her front porch. The scent of the drying mushrooms and the Slovak soups she lovingly constructed with them is fondly rekindled.Raining Iguanashttp://rainingiguanas.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
