Renderosity has opened a whole new world to me, its a fantastic place and have had some brilliant support from many new friends.  I retired from work very early through ill health so I took to photography from the very basics.
 Since joining I have grown in confidence with my photography and I now think because of RR that I take it a little more seriously. I started off here using a Fuji Finepix 6500fd, it took some great pictures but I'm hooked now so I have now(April 2008) bought a DSLR SAMSUNG DX10 and having fun learning the settings etc. ( these things take me a while lol)ÂÂ
I am so fortunate to be with a wonderful person in my life, Sylvia. She is not just my partner but of course she's also my best friend. Previously I have been married but seperated a few years ago and have two fantastic children. I NOW have two fantastic grandchildren !!!
My interests are photography, i have had a dabble at Acrylic painting, and I enjoy long walks out in the countryside.      I also have an interest in anything historical.  I want to have a sample of just about everything there is in photography, who knows what the future holds!
Thanks for calling by.    Alan

If I found something like this I would have to get my golf club and see how far I could send it... and THEN I'd say, "oh gosh, I should have taken a photo first!" LOL I mowed down the last mushrooms I found in my yard and as I put the mower away it hit me I should have taken a few photos first. I suppose fungus and insects are not my favorite subjects for a photo shoot. :-) You, however, have done a marvelous job here. Great pov!

Well, being somewhat cautious about wild mushrooms, I would have removed it, (in gloves) but I would never hit it with my non-existant golf club, which might spread the spores all over hell's 1/2 acre! Back to your picture! The full sized view is so great........every detail.

Oh yes, this mushroom is so beautiful ! You know the point together with the animal world ? More beautiful is and more crual can be too... But we have the chance, the mushroom don't attack LOLLLLL or if you want to eat this, I don't want to know the bad effect after hahahaha ..... Excellent !!! Good day :)

A wonderful shot Alan, from what Onslow/Richard has said I am so glad you did not handle this shroom. It is no said that the brighter the colour the more dangerous the insect or fungi. Have a wonderful eventime. Diane.

Just to answer mick. It was taken over moorland near Todmorden West Yorkshire UK. Most Fungi that I have seen are not the bright coloured verieties, so thought it unusual.

Somebody already mentioned , Yes is Fly Agaric - Amanita Muscaria , Active constituent Muscarine , Not highly poisonous but still not wise to eat :D Nice pic of it in early stage!
