    Ein stolzer schöner "Ritter"! Sein Aussterben wäre ein großer Verlust und würde zur Verarmung unserer Welt beitragen. Aber viele Menschen kümmert das leider nicht.

    So good that you are making these great recordings of so many fungi that may die out one day .... this is another lovely one, great with the tiny slug and the spots of earth clinging to the cap.
    greetings, Adele

    Sag mal Mark,gehst du nachts auf Pilzetour und leuchtest sie mit einer Lampe aus ???
    Mir ist wieder zu viel dunkel im Spiel,ich würde gerne mehr vom Wald und Umfeld sehen.
    Die Schärfe sitzt wieder optimal.

    tell it to the slug!! they are such irreverent little fellows!!! completely out of control, unable to rein back their appetite ; ))! what a beautiful fungus indeed, mike! it literally seems to glow in the dark like a chivalrous and heroic white knight (what a name!!!)! beautifully captured! i just love that straight, almost harsh shadow the cap is throwing, and how the slug looks all "sleepy", as though suddenly woken by the relentless nature photographer ; ))), who butted in on their peaceful fungus-mollusk symbiosis ; ))… lg, sabine.
