Actually I don't know the name of this mushroom, but it looks exactly like "Flan" that my wife used to make. The color and texture appear about exactly like it. Taken just a day or so ago and not many mushrooms around any more this spring.

Olympus E-5 50mm F 2 macro
aperture priority
1/60 sec @ F 7.1, -0.3 EV
fill flash
spot metering
ISO 200
manual focus

Thanks for any and all responses.

Charlie:
A healthy looking pair of shrooms. The lighting is just right without any hint of flash fill. Only wish the background is a little cleaner but this may not be possible.

Great angle and detail on the shrooms. I kinda wish that piece of wood wasn't there though but the image is still great as posted.

Nice image. I don't mind the wood in the bg as it seems like a natural part of mushroom habitat. I do kinda wish the larger of the two was more completely in focus.
