For me, mushrooms are usually just something I snap a photo of and move on. But right now there’s a bumper crop of these inconspicuous wood-decay St. Wenceslas mushrooms—specifically, Armillaria borealis. They contain heat-sensitive toxins, but after cooking […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

The photo shows a tree trunk lying on the ground, completely covered with green moss. The ground around it is covered with fallen dry leaves. The trunk lies lengthwise in the portrait-oriented photograph. Above the center of the photograph, a mushroom can be seen growing from the trunk; it has a thin brown stem and a yellow-brown cap that is darker in the center and has a darker rim around the edge.

My morning walk through the deep valley gave me the opportunity to photograph this Verbascum thapsus with its thick, bushy leaves. The leaves look as if they’re wearing a fur coat, and before the sun crosses the high slopes of the valley, the hairs on the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

This macro photograph shows the surface of a gray-green leaf covered with a vast number of tiny water droplets.

The photograph shows a low-growing plant with many large leaves sprouting from the ground in a rosette that spreads across the ground; only the central leaves are upright. No stem is visible. The leaves are greenish in color and are thick and bushy, as if they were covered in fur.

The photograph shows a mushroom shaped like an elongated balloon growing out of green moss. It is brownish-white in colour and covered with numerous low, cone-shaped projections. To the left of the mushroom lies a twisted, dry tree leaf. It is blue-grey in colour and appears to be covered with fine white hairs.

The photograph shows a round loaf of yellowish-brown bread. The top of the loaf has a deep cross-shaped cut that formed four points with a darker crust during baking. The loaf rests on a dark turquoise cloth decorated with a white grid pattern. In the corner of the cloth lies a bracelet made of brown beads.

The enlarged photograph shows a patch of green moss covered with numerous tiny leaves. Roughly in the centre is an inconspicuous, tiny, plump spider with thick legs. It is brown and mottled in colour, which provides good camouflage. Its two large, black, forward-facing eyes are particularly striking.

The macro photograph shows a large, orange-coloured caterpillar with a red back. It is facing the photographer. Its head is almost black, and its large mandibles are visible at the front. Its body is covered in sparse, fine hairs. No eyes are visible. The caterpillar is standing on the ground, which is covered in grey pebbles and small green plants.

The photograph shows a view of a mountainous landscape. In the centre of the frame is a stony path winding its way through green mountain pine scrub, which begins at the bottom edge of the frame and runs through the centre to roughly the halfway point, where it disappears amongst the pine trees. Above the mountain pine scrub, the dark green mountain peaks are visible, and above them is a blue sky with white clouds.

I received a gift with calligraphy on it. It’s written in Chinese characters, and there’s a comment in Korean—probably Hangul. Could anyone translate this for me? I don’t know the giver personally; it was given to me through someone else. Thanks #chinese #hangul #corean #caligraphy

The photograph shows a square piece of crumpled white paper with calligraphy. The paper is oriented as a rhombus. These are Chinese characters, painted with a brush in a very sweeping style. There are five characters arranged vertically. On the left side, there is a comment in Korean written in small characters, likely in Hangul. Further to the left is another short inscription, possibly containing numbers in the Latin alphabet, and a faint rectangular red stamp. A larger, indistinct square red stamp is located below the calligraphy.

The heavily magnified photograph shows a tiny mushroom with a long stem and a cap, taken from a slightly low angle. It is white-brown on top and bright white underneath, and is slightly translucent, particularly the stem. The background of the photograph is green, as is the foreground beneath the mushroom’s stem, creating a bokeh effect.

The enlarged photograph shows a large-looking beetle of a dark, blue-green colour. It has a shiny carapace dotted with numerous pits and is facing the camera lens. Its two eyes, antennae tipped with tufts and spiny legs are visible. He has sparse hair around his head, which looks like a beard. The surface on which it is standing looks like a beige stone or dust.

The photograph shows a plant with striking blue-violet flowers and pointed green leaves. The flowers are arranged vertically along the stem, in pairs in tiers, and overlap one another. There are roughly ten of them in the photograph. They are shaped like long, narrow tubes with fringed edges. The background of the photograph consists of the green leaves of another plant.

This shiny black leaf beetle posed very nicely for me. Notice the little bristles on its legs in the photo taken from below – presumably for better grip. Or perhaps for personal hygiene? #nature #macrophotography #beetle #insects

The photograph shows a plump, shiny black beetle walking along a yellow blade of grass. The blade of grass is framed across the centre of the photograph and is only slightly tilted from a horizontal position. In the background, the green of the surrounding grass is blurred.

The enlarged photograph shows a shiny black beetle clinging to a yellow blade of grass. It is photographed from below, so you can see its legs clinging to the blade on both sides. The beetle’s black legs have hooks at the ends, as well as yellow bristles that press against the surface of the blade.

In this macro photograph, the beetle is pictured from the front against the smooth, pale purple surface of the flower’s interior. Behind it, bright orange pollen filaments are visible. The beetle is black and covered in dense hairs; it has a long snout and its body is shaped like a plump oval. Its legs are spread wide apart and it is entirely covered in bright orange pollen grains that have stuck to it.

The enlarged photo shows a flower with five round petals of a brick-red color. The tips of the petals are slightly serrated; they look as if they’ve been torn.
The center of the flower is more purple in color, and the stamens are the same color. However, the pollen sacs at their tips are yellow. Below the flower, the pointed basal bracts of the perianth are visible; they are dark and protrude symmetrically between the gaps in the petals.
Part of a green leaf is visible to the side. The background is blurred.
