Btw, what camera are you using clementine? It appears that you're not using the macro function, which would drastically improve the quality of your photos. This could help revealing details in your (future) photos that will facilitate mushroom identification.

The macro mode of your camera is usually illustrated by a little flower icon. Here's a page that has some information on the use of the macro function of digital compact cameras. Give it a try, you'll be amazed at the results :thumbup:

Hey, thanks for the suggestion! I was really upset with the quality of the pictures when I would try to get up-close. I will definitely check it out.
