These are shelf fungi growing on a nearby tree to the Oyster mushrooms that I converted to black and white which I don't think works to well with mushrooms and the like. Your thoughts?
Gathering inspiration here... B&W or color -- well, for the 3rd shot color seems ideal, and the final shot in black and white seems to work nicely with the composition.
I'll weigh in on the side of color. That little warm hint of brown does a lot to accent the mushroom and give it a little complexity in my opinion. Beautiful shots!
I went down to see the other mushrooms...I understand you did not get them eat...they are delicious. In our state parks it is legal to pick mushrooms or nuts...or at least it used to be. Been years ago that we talked to them about it.

I agree with you fungi man, the colour photos appeal to me much more.
my fave is the 3rd. yes, the subtle colors are more attractive.
I like the B&W also. Very graphic.
I prefer the natural colour of the mushrooms. The natural is so delicate and beautiful. :)
I like the second and third ones. Definitely needs color, not B&W.
Beautiful tones in that b&w.

Very nice 'shrooms! They really do grow into some strange forms.

PS: glad you like my garden, but I dont think we'd make it into Better Homes and Gardens!
