All pictures and micrographs were taken with a Canon Powershot A710.  Pictures were shot in P mode with auto white balance.  For light mushrooms on dark backgrounds the exposure compensation was set to between -1 and -2.  For dark mushrooms on light backgrounds, +1.

80% of the photos and 100% of the micrographs were edited with the gimp to crop, sharpen and color correct them. 





One of your best, if not the best, threads.  For those interested in making superior micrographs, could you describe the method used for physically taking them?  How do you shoot down the eyepiece?  Is it as simple as holding the camera above the eyepiece (how close?), focusing and taking the photo?

If I remember correctly you refitted your Amscope with a Nikon objective (100x).  What is the model number?

I hold the camera directly on the eyepiece, as close as it can get.  I use the P shooting mode, white balance set to tungsten, manual focus set to infinity. 

When taking cystidia pics they do not look like much until I turn up the contrast using the gimp.  Before that point its a lot like photographing ghosts.

Its important to have the thing you want to photograph in perfect focus.  On my camera if you turn on manual focus it gives you an enlarged window which is useful for adjusting the fine focus.  Its better to get it in perfect focus with your eyes though.  Get the edges as sharp as possible and press the shutter.

I have never owned an Amscope.  Lipa's is the first one I have ever seen.

I read something on this from '08, I believe, that said it was on the endangered species list. 




There are a lot of mushroom species which only occur in Lane Cove Bushland Park.

About your Scleroderma reae,  I believe I found something like that late last month.  I will post in a new thread.




Yours is a Rhizopogon.  Scleroderma is dark purple/black in the center.

They were in a woodchip bed on the side of the road.

Thanks.  Yeah, my Canon A630 has the same manual focus as yours.  You're right.  It's always better to use your eyes.  I see you upgraded on your camera.  I'll have to check that model out.  I recently got a Nikon L16 for use with the scopes.  We'll see how that one works.

I think everyone else already summed it up, but I'll say it too.
Good job and very nice thread.
Also, thanks for putting up a mini-glossary at the beginning of the thread.

It's Gymnopus (without the il) subpruinosus... not active.

The genus Gymnopilus does contain some active species though.

I am just so happy that this thread is not so old that
I will get crap for posting to it.  ;0)

I was looking Alan up. (he has helped the Growers forum
via Stonesun and I was curious)

Well, this thread stopped me cold.  I live in San Diego
and did not know that we grew that many useful fungi.

I think that this perception is driven by there being so
many interesting species growing in the PNW.  One wonders
what can grow in our coastal desert.

Not to waste your time, I found this item while walking
to my car at work:


* It was growing in the well-watered grass outside my company's building.  In the turf.
* The gills are light yellow where the flesh is white. They
are attached to the stem.
* The stem was about 1.5" long, white fleshed, and fully solid. Where the cap is brownish, and the stem and gills
are yellowish with very small spots of an oranger (?) color.
* The cap is about 1.5" wide.  It has a flattened top, but is not concave.  It is a orangy-brown and is slightly shiny.
* I am taking a print on white paper and aluminum.  I will report.
* No bruising...at all, even after cutting it.
* It smells....mushroomy.  Nothing out of the ordinary.
* It was growing in a well watered area, and so I am not
sure that it is native to Southern California.

This photo tried to capture the speckles on the stem:


The gills (*very* dense):


Other photos:




(I will try to find something to adjust the levels on
the last one)

Well, take care all,

Javadog

Suillus pungens

The color of the cap of the species varies greatly in SD.

Zap.  That was fast.  I did not expect it to be rare.

(It is nice to know that I have fellow fungals here in SD
...but Psilocybe Cyanescens, in Escondildo?  WFT!  ;0)

Now I am off to read about my small find.

Take care,

JD
