These were photographed at the same site as the Toothpick Mushroom. Lots of colonies, of various sizes, grew in some small areas of grass and I have cropped out any parts of adjacent groups.

EM-1 (manual mode), Kiron 105mm, flash, hand-held.

The aperture of the lens had been jamming wide open and these were a hurried re-shoot, so that I could catch up with the foray group leaders. A slight move to one side for a different viewpoint would have improved the second one but the liquid-like feature is of interest.

    Thanks.

    A bit brighter. Look at the grass. The darker colony may have been senescing i.e. starting to go brown. The actual exposure would have been identical, due to the flash setting. Slightly different processing may have given different contrast.

    The vertical leaf in front, bottom middle, of the second one is the same colour as the fungus and I only saw it when uploading. Before you suggest anything, dealing with that by cloning is a) not presently available and b) beyond my ham-fisted efforts.
