I used a Chris Packham trick to photograph the underside of the fly agaric toadstool - I placed a mirror on the ground underneath the toadstool and photographed the reflection.

Very nice series! Using a mirror is a neat idea! I'll be trying this. Thanks for sharing your photos and for sharing the tip.

I believe #2 is amanita muscaria, or fly amanita, one of the psychedelic/poisonous 'shrooms, so revered in the 60s and 70s by time and space travelers. Very nice photo! I'm remembering a Moody Blues concert years ago... "Timothy Leary's dead, no no no, he's outside looking in"

Lovely shot of the Fly Agaric John. Fungi is a favourite of mine but don't see many Fly Agarics around here. Much favoured by Shamen of old, the trick is to use the skin but not the flesh as it'll turn you yellow! Actually don't even do that as they can make you quite poorly.

These are all fantastic images foxjohn. And BTW thanks for the mirror tip. I'll be trying that one one day soon I hope. :thumbup:
