Mushroom

I went out this evening to pick mushrooms. The first one I found was all you could hope for :- firm, white, with an irresistable earthy scent. It was also the last mushroom I found, so no mushies for tea, then. The picture above is an old one from the archives - a shot of a porcelain fungus that was growing about 8 foot up an oak tree in Barna Wood. The shot was taken a couple of years ago (with an EOS 500 and a Sigma zoom) on Fujichrome film and then scanned witha Minolta film scanner. It was nearly monochrome to begin with, but I converted it anyway in Photoshop.
