But many people's mushroom pictures are much worse than they need to be. I am not an expert, but I am going to stick my neck out and pass on a few hints that may help some of you to get better pictures, even if you don't have multiple flash units or Van Gogh genes. Use close-up lenses if necessary. If not, try to stabilize the camera by bracing your arms against a tree, or even the ground. This will give you good depth of focus.
Most people take pictures far too far from their subject.
Don't go for the cheapest price unless you are convinced they do a good job. Elsie is completely out of ink, including some she had saved from her time in the Yukon. She asked that anybody who finds shaggy manes save them for her. She'd also like the ones that we display at the show. If you find some, keep them in a jar in the refrigerator.
