A beautiful set of oyster mushrooms growing out of an old stump, somewhere in a forgotten section of Salt Lake City. Oyster mushrooms are edible, and considered tasty, although I will not personally be eating these. I liked these images quite well; below I have included a slideshow of more photos of the oyster mushrooms. Also, there are some slime-capped brown mushrooms that were sharing the space, although I have not identified them yet. Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone who has said that the equipment doesn’t make the photographer has never tried to take a photo of a tiny mushroom without a macro lens. To get this photo I used a Sony WX1, which is a nice point and shoot, but sacrifices manual focus for macro ability. There’s a fair amount of toning work in this image.
Next purchase: some cheap lens tubes.
