This was an interesting find, growing on the remains of a burnt-stump after a large forest fire devastated the mountain-pass it was found in. The coin placed on it is a quarter, for a size reference. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4148/4846112569_f1b80f8ce8_b.jpg [After taking all artsy-fartsy shots, it's always advised to take a few more typical snapshots while including some known object for size reference for future documentation purposes. A little hint for you wannabe nature photographers out there. I generally keep a small stack of metric and inch rulers printed up on transparency material and waterproof papers in my camera pack, inexpensive expendable rulers that can be quickly placed next to any insect or plant for use against any colors or hues or lighting situations.] I safely know about 18 different wild mushrooms for their edibility, many hundreds more for their toxicity. (One fun one that will only make people sick if they also drink any alcohol after the meal. A good prank-'shroom.) Reminding me of a favorite phrase, "There are two kinds of mushroom hunters: smart ones ... and dead ones." I took about 1/3rd of this one (2-3 lbs.) for future meals for that week. Something that no cookbooks anywhere will tell you, this variety of 'shroom has to be sautéed for about 30 minutes before it becomes tender and succulent. It's not your average, heat butter, fry it, flip it, eat it, type of 'shroom. Fried up with cut-throat trout caught in a nearby stream it was most excellent. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4130/4846768170_11db88b89d_b.jpg (This time I had the luxury of a mobile base-camp in the form of a class-B camper, which I also outfitted with solar-panels to power the digital darkroom and wide-bed printer.) Now let's watch all the desperately insecure, sheltered-life (basement life), pretend-photographer DSLR-TROLLS hijack this thread too. This is most amusing. You can't buy entertainment this good! LOL! |

Like this one placed next to one of the (really fresh) largest wolf-tracks I've ever run across during one of my lengthy photo-treks in Canada. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4144/4847187452_4f650424b2.jpg But Grandma, what big feet you've got! LOL! This is just one paw-print, the largest, from about a dozen different wolves that were milling around in that spot just before I hiked through there. They made some nice designs in the otherwise undisturbed dirt with their tracks that became interesting photos. How much do you want to bet that everyone is going steal this image to keep it and show to others without my permission, even in its greatly reduced size and severely jpg-degraded quality. CONTENT MEANS EVERYTHING. Image quality means NOTHING. |

Proof of genius. |

LOL! For some reason, all of your photos linked to Flickr are unavailable. I'm shocked. Don't worry. One of your fellow trolls will be along any time to tell everyone they were removed because I had stolen them, or I removed them because I was so embarrassed, or they were all shot with DSLRs and I had lied about smaller sensor cameras performing so well, or ... any of their other usual resident trolls' childishly manipulative reasons to desperately try to get my or anyone's attention. When in reality, I never leave images up for more than 24 hours. Rarely longer in special circumstances. Maybe someone will offer to repost them for you without my permission so I can pursue a lawsuit against them again. That's always fun when the trolls try that. The problem is, the ones who have done just that are so poor there's no reward. So in advance I only show them highly degraded jpg-compressed images they can desperately covet and beat-off over instead. |

I've got an idea, next time you come across those poisonous mushrooms eat few dozen. Arrange to have some one take your picture and post (don't use a DSLR though, we want a good shot). |
