Some mushrooms from the nearby forest. Smile

First two shot with the Vivitar 105/2.5, others with the Planar 50/1.4.

2. I ate these, Armillariella mellea I think, but not sure. My family's been eating them for long since they're quite common around our house.

Wow Toni, the forest there and the forest here are very similar. The mushrooms here are surely the same kinds, but different sub-species. I should post some fungi photos...

Mushroom season bulk buyers set up tables at the local 'town' (only a country store, post office, & gas pump Smile) for local people to bring them edible mushrooms. There are examples on display. Great education in local nature for everybody to see. I can say many people here know which mushrooms are edible even if they do not eat them or know the names.

Thanks for the kind comments, trev and visualopsins. I'd very much like to see the pics of mushrooms from up there, vo. Smile

There's really many species of fungi available and one should be careful of which ones to pick. Here, the most popular species are those that belong to the Boletus genus (Boletus edulis and a few more), not sure what's the most widely used English name (penny bun, porcino or cep according to Wikipedia). They're quite easy to recognize so it's low risk for anyone that do not know many species.

@dude163: I agree! Very Happy It's an outstanding lens. I find myself looking at 100% crops of almost every photo taken with it, hehe.
@trifox: Thanks! I hope I'll go again tommorow, will try to find more of them to post here.
