        I am the type that cannot leave a problem unsolved… Guess that’s a good trait to have the field of fungi identification 😆

        Thank you for the heads up, will adopt this technique in the future now, so it works both ways ;)

          How about now?! – I DO shoot in the highest possible resolution and in RAW format. I then save as JPEG. I have resized these (in pixels) as per your suggestion.

          Am very much a beginner (in mycology, not photography) .. I’ve read the recent thread about microscopes and have my eyes peeled (pun intended) for one, possibly the Apex Researcher.

          At the same time as learning, the spore photography I have seen on here is fabulous!

            I pressed the “place inline” button for the first pic which appeared to place it before the text. I didn’t do this for the others.

            I resized the images to less than 400kb but did not change the actual size dimensions to make them smaller – perhaps this is the problem?

            (I am not at my desktop to test this theory presently but will do this later)

              Another source (wikipedia) states Amanita porphyria as having a radish smell, so perhaps that could explain what I call “starchy”.

              Assume it wouldn’t be impossible to spot these this time of the year?

                Soz, I was unaware of the limit.

                I have uploaded one image which I have resized to 243KB.

                Does this work?… If so, I can do the rest also.

                Many thanks

                  I have seen what I thought to be Panther Caps in the same location last Autumn…. had assumed it was too early for them and no remnants on cap may have thrown me..

                  EDIT: My eyes aren’t very well trained though and looking again, there are some white remnants on the cap by the looks of it.. the other white areas are where the bugs have attacked I think, shame you can’t open them full size ;)

                    Wow, thanks for the prompt reply Mike!

                    The photo’s appear to be working fine my end, would like to know if working for anyone else or have I done something wrong?

                    Thanks for the ID suggestion… gonna look that up now :D

                    EDIT;

                    Having looked at Grey Veiled Amanita in the Roger Phillips book, it suggests smell is slight and occurs late summer to autumn… the starchy smell was quite prominent and was spotted a few days ago..

                    Question : does the ring on the stem suggest a partial veil? do any Russula’s have veils? (sorry, that’s two questions!)
