I tried to take a stereo-pair, by shooting one, then moving the camera
left 3 or 4 inches, and shooting again.

Actually, I tried that twice (on a different mushroom), but I think
somehow it didn't get included (one of the two of the 2nd stereo pair).

And one shot across the garden (from maybe 4 ft height), so you can
see that there's a four or five in that one shot.


Anyway, looks to me that they're all the same type.


So, what conclusion do YOU GUYS come up with?

Thanks,

If I was going to try to kill the fungi (likely a losing battle), I'd
try adding a lot of lime to the soil....fungi tend to like damp, acid
soil. Why kill them? Treat 'em like wild flowers, add some moss and
ferns and you have a really cool flower bed. Whatever wood beneath the
soil that nourishes them will have to rot away.

When I did nature photography in Florida, I once found a huge fungus
similar to yours...the only day I was ever out without my camera...that
looked like a giant carnation. About two feet across, light peachy/pink
color, growing on a fallen live-oak log. There were lots of interesting
fungi (and spider webs) in the woods, and mushrooms seemed to be a
favorite food of squirrels and mice.
