NF SOOC No. 16

Learning to use an additional light since I am not post-processing this month. I used my small LED flashlight (torch) to bring out the top a bit.
Found a couple of Pasture Mushrooms on my walk. To begin with, mushrooms in this dry environment just confuses me. We haven't had rain for about a week. They were very bedraggled and oozed some nasty looking black liquid but stayed mostly together while I 'posed' them. I am also not sure if they are poisonous so into the bin they went after the shoot.
Would never have thought of picking mushrooms to shoot, or using a flashlight for lighting - so much to learn - thank you!

@fbailey I found this little flashlight attached to a tripod at the local "Tuesday Morning" store. One of the best things I've ever bought there. I searched amazon and found it too ( https://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Tripod-Flashlight-by-EasyComforts/dp/B008YGQSI0/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1537137395&sr=8-9&keywords=flashlight+with+tripod ).

Well that is the coolest thing I have seen - I have used a small flash light but hard to hold a pin lite flashlight and remote shutter-gives a nice look -guess I am placing yet another amazon order lol-my husband thanks you

@fbailey @samae @rhernan Gotta love the simple cheap things.

I like your creative thinking. I wouldn't be eating anything that looked like that either Joy!

@golftragic I don't know my schrooms so, I am just fine with the taking shots and tossing.

Good idea, nicely executed.

Good to see that you're still pushing the envelope, Joy

Cleverly achieved

Wel! Composed. Such a nice Amazon find.

Interesting shot. Re mushrooms edible or not, there is a permanent facilty/service offered by pharmacies in France, whereby one can take said mushrooms etc. for identification and more to the point...whether they are edible or not.

@vignouse Very much appreciated, thank you kindly for the fav.
@yrhenwr Grateful, thank you.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond The black stuff that the mushroom was dripping was icky but thank goodness for paper towels.
@henrir Thank you so much, the pros would probably laugh themselves silly but I don't have their budget.
@s4sayer Thank you, I never thought that I might take these to the county extension agent for ID. Thank you so much for the info.
@taffy Thank you so much.
@overalvandaan I almost didn't pick them up but glad that I did. They were on their last legs too. I did learn what a Lobster Mushroom looks like but not sure I have the courage to try it. These were Prairie Mushrooms, I think but when I see them again, I will take one in for identification.
