2008-03-01 - Turkey Tails Lens: Raynox DCR-150 Flash: Yes, diffused Settings: Av mode, ISO 80, 1/60s, f8 ------------------------------------------- Turkey Tails is quite a suitable name for this fungus, Polyporus versicolor. I found these growing on some birch logs in Jordbodalen. After a few photos I got fascinated by the pattern and colours of these fungi and took more and more photos. To the photos >>

2008-02-10 - "Bowl fungus" Lens: Raynox DCR-250 Flash: Yes, diffused Settings: Av mode, ISO 80, 1/60s, f8 ------------------------------------------- This is most like likely Lachnea hemisphaerica. They grew on an old and rotten stump in Jordbodalen (See "Things on a stump"). They were all quite small from a couple of millimetres to about a centimetre across. I found them very intresteing. .

2008-02-04 - Phlebia radiata Lens: Raynox DCR-250 Flash: Yes, diffused Settings: Av mode, ISO 80, 1/60s, f8 ------------------------------------------- This particular fungus, Phlebia radiata, grows on stumps and decaying branches. Looks a little like small pizzas. Or maybe not. The grow flat on the surface which makes them a bit easier to photograph. These were all quite small, about 3 - 8 cm across. To the photos >>

2008-02-03 - Fungi Lens: Raynox DCR-250 Flash: Yes, diffused Settings: Av mode, ISO 80, 1/60s, f8 ------------------------------------------- With no insects to point my camera at there is always som fungi available. However, there was actually one insect today but I didn't notice it until I viewed the photos on my PC. A little agonising but nothing I could about then. Can you spot the insect? To the photos >>

2008-02-02 - Tremella mesenteriea Lens: Raynox DCR-250 Flash: Yes, diffused Settings: M mode, ISO 80, 1/250s, f8 ------------------------------------------- This very strange looking fungus was found growing on a broken branch laying on the ground. Of course I could not resist taking some photos. There were also another fungus, a whitish also strange looking one. I took a few photos of that too, but they came out quite blurry To the photos >>

2008-01-19 - Fungus Lens: Standard Macro Flash: Yes, not diffused Settings: Av mode, ISO 100, 1/60s, 5,6 - 6,3 ------------------------------------------- I found some fungus today too. Both growing on a big stump. It was quite slippery there and almost fell. But I got a couple of photos. To the photos >>

2008-01-16 - Fungus Lens: Raynox DCR-250 / Macro Flash: Yes, diffused / Yes ------------------------------------------- I found more fungus today. Most, if not all, of them were growing on old stumps. There were different kinds of fungi and in different colours. Sizes varied a lot too. The largest (last photos) were almost 50cm wide! I had to use the Mcro function for them. To the photos >>

2008-01-15 - Fungus Lens: Raynox DCR-250 Flash: Yes, diffused ------------------------------------------- The weather wasn't the best and certainly not the light. Heavy overcast, +5°C and a wind blowing from SW. I took a walk in the nearby Jordbodalen and hoped to find something to photograph. Well, I found some fungus. To the photos >>
