Could the black Gymnopus be Melanoleuca?

Must be nice actually finding mushrooms! :crankey:

I am thinking similarly.

Feeling the same way. At the moment I even start flirting with Tubarias - that is if
I'm lucky to see one. Too darn cold where I'm at.

You are right, it is probably Melanoleuca angelesiana. Never found them clustered before and normally find it in the spring.

Yes, it's probably Melanoleuca evenosa. 

Dimitar is the man, great name for the Lyophyllum too.  He is one of my favorite people to drink beer with.

A lot of your shots look underexposed, I recommend turning on the feature that shows you the histogram after you take a picture.  I always look at the histogram after I take a photo and if I don't like the way it looks I take the photo again.

Here is a cool web page about histograms:

Indeed some of these were taken near dusk and could have used a really long exposure. Your photography help is much appreciated Alan.

Great shots, tsuga! I see many of those species where I hunt. Looks like your oysters are growing from Alder. This seems to be the preferred tree around here. Didn't see too many this season due to dry conditions.

Great info on histograms, Alan. I've read thru it and bookmarked it. My new camera displays a histogram while I'm still composing a picture and I noticed it in my manual without really grasping how I could use the information.

What tricks or gear do you typically use, besides flash, to manipulate the exposure for mushroom photography? Especially in habitats of patchy to dense woods in otherwise normal daylight conditions.

A tripod will make the most difference. 

When using a tripod you can set the ISO low, close the aperture for more depth of field and expose as long as you like.

Use a remote shutter release or the delay so the camera does not shake when you press the shutter.

Reflectors make a huge difference so the gills aren't always in a shadow.  Just a little bit of reflected light is good, not too much.  You can make one with tinfoil and cardboard, but I use the collapsable commercial ones as they are cheap and easy to carry.

Also use a white photography umbrella if the light is uneven or the mushrooms happen to be in direct sun.

I am giving a mushroom photography talk at SOMA Camp this year, consider attending.  Also a Psilocybe talk and leading a foray....

I've recently started using a gorilla tripod, and the two second shutter delay and I've seen a vast improvement.

My biggest frustration is lighting at this point. I really appreciate your tips.
