In keeping with previous fungi shots here is another fly agaric Adrian's is in better condition than this one, the slugs have been at it. The fly agaric ins the one commonly depicted in fairy stories and is poisonous.
The large flat bracket fungi were used as razor strops in times gone by, they more commonly grow on silver birch trees.
All C&C welcome.
Looks like you made this image a moment too late--right after the fairies melted into the forest. Was not aware of the former use of bracket fungi. Interesting. The fact that it has been nibbled upon does not detract from the photogenic quality of the shroom, which I recognize from your thread of a few days ago.
Very appealing image with two different kinds of mushrooms! The busy BG is one of the hardest thing to get rid off in the forest...But, this is the natural way of things....
Very well done in a tough environment. The forest adds atmosphere without excessive cluttered. I like the vine framing the log on the left. I think I would prefer it a tiny bit darker overall, I tend to prefer deep forest shots on the dark side. I think both logs, especially the one on the right could benefit from additional selective darkening. The dark shadow on the right log is distracting.
