Hi...good morning again friends #fungilover, this beautiful morning I walked not far because last night it rained a little and I was planning to go somewhere for today's object, and before walking far I was surprised by a red mushroom growing on the tip of a broken wood which was lying on the ground, and I took it with a slight smile at this time, and I rushed to attach the lens to the cell phone that I am currently carrying.
And I also started looking for some positions that I think can emit even brighter colors than the beautiful mushrooms that I just met on this very bright and beautiful morning.
Several sessions that I got and made me have to do a lot of ideas when trying to take pictures of this beautiful mushroom, with the help of light and nature at this time.
Some results from the drawing session I got like this;
Because of my curiosity as a beginner in mushroom macro photography, I also tried to find the scientific name of the mushroom I had this morning, and for a few minutes I saw the image I had was similar to the one in an online article on a 👉wikipedia I took and linked so I can easily retrieve it when I need it. and all friends can also see firsthand the similarities of the mushrooms that I share today 29/september/2022.
A few days ago I just heard a story from a friend who said there was a mushroom that was like a cup but it was very difficult, and only the base we encountered was the one I got, it didn't have a handle like a cup as seen in the explanation in the article I shared above.
This mushroom, known by its scientific name "Sarcoscypha occidentalis", commonly known as stalk red goblet or western red goblet, is a species of fungus in the family Sarcoscyphaceae of the order Pezizales. Fruit bodies have small bright red cups up to 2 cm wide on white stems between 1/2 cm long.
After taking a few shots of the session I needed, I also had to go home to pick up my son who was going to school, and after that I wrote this. That's my short mushroom trip today, I hope all friends like it and as usual all these pictures are mine and I've just published them in the fungilovers community.
