Tiny Mushroom With Variants Of Freestanding Flash

This mushroom was about 10mm high. I used my Printing Nikkor 150mm setup but, as I could work on a table, all the flash guns were freestanding.
Some of these are not quite as sharp on the nearside as I would like but the different lighting makes it worthwhile including them. They are posted in the order of my preference, which happens to be the reverse of the shooting sequence.
The main flash was mostly (perhaps entirely) level with the mushroom and to the left, illuminating the nearside. The first fill was in a similar position but to the right. Both were angled inwards at ca 45 degrees. The second fill was on a block of wood behind the log and angled downwards at about 45 degrees. It position varied from to the left of the mushroom to directly behind, it on the right. For some shots (not necessarily included) the positions of the main and first fill flash were swapped.

Nice fungus. They edible?
I'm not sure if this helps, as, for the mushroom, not one of the flash units was attached as shown.

I have no idea what species the mushroom was, so its edibility remains unknown, anyway, you would need dozens to provide a mouthful.

Brian,
That is the only one with a good backlit effect but the focus on the nearside cap rim could have been better.
