Greetings, friends
Friday! The first Friday of autumn. To do this, I took a special walk in search of unusual mushrooms. And it seems to me that I have succeeded. But... I will be consistent in my story.
To begin with, at the very beginning of the walk, I found a toothache and checked the lens.
I took the Sigma AF 18-35mm f/1.8DC HSM Art lens for a walk. I rarely use it, but I like it for landscape photography and for macro photography. I was planning to find small mushrooms, and for this I need similar optics. This is a high-power lens that operates at f/1.8 over the entire focus range. Although the focal length spread is not so large, only x2.
Do you think it's easy to photograph a mushroom that grows under a Fir tree in the grass? I did it blindly, holding the camera at arm's length.
I need to solve 3 issues in one walk: walk myself, walk the dog and find mushrooms, small mushrooms. I won't find them in this forest. I need to move on. I saw such mushrooms a month ago, but is it there now?
Mushrooms, where are you? There are no mushrooms here. I thought they'd be here. But no. The old mushrooms died, but the new ones did not appear. I'll keep looking for them.
There is moss, there are fallen leaves, there is even a slug on a leaf, but there are no fungi. But I will not give up and I will inspect all the trees on my way to find mushrooms.
Just a minute, just a second. What is it? the little blue one... They're small mushrooms. I've never seen anything like it in my life. Now I need to look at them better.
What is it? What are these mushrooms called? Smurfo mushrooms?
I started studying the Internet and saw that in the Moscow region, in the Tula region and other central regions of the country, people saw such mushrooms. This is Chlorociboria Aeruginosa.
The mushroom, of course, has no nutritional value due to its small size and thin flesh. But it turns out that wood stained with the mycelium of the fungus has long been appreciated by woodcarvers. But, probably, this is a special wood, and not the rotten tree on which I saw this mushroom.
Who has seen such mushrooms? Or maybe the likes of these?
And my search for mushrooms continues! See you next Friday, friends.
No! We don't eat that. Not a single mushroom was damaged during the shooting.
