a wonderful capture Michelle of what I think it could be a mushroom called Pleurocybella porrigens; sharp focus with excellent control of exposure for the white;

    Thank you so much for very nice review, and the name of the fungus. I have been looking in my fungi app for the name. Much appreciated.

A very nice shot that is perfectly exposed for the white mushroom. The detail in its gills is very good and it looks particularly nice against that dark background.

Interesting. This fungus reminds indeed of some animal swimming. It reminds me also of an flying bird and a flower hanging down. The contradiction of the white fungus with the dark mottled branch is interesting. The photo is well focused and exposed. The light amplifies the fungus perfectly. The white glow on the dark background is attractive. The fungus is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Hey there!
This is a nice image of this mushroom you have captured. I like the black backdrop as it allows for the white colored mushroom to stand out very well. Thanks for sharing.

Does not even look like a mushroom that I have ever scene before! I say this though as a Brit. Your fine, full and central composition offers us an enjoyable view of your surprising mushroom. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well taken!

Very interesting white mushroom at the base of the hibiscus, it's an interesting shape and structure with its petals flared out like wings.
Well focused, the image is clear, good show of the detail and texture of the mushroom. Well managed lighting, the white tones appear natural. Well composed and presented!
