With your Camera Sheila...On to scene settings, I chose food. You can get really close on "solid" things like this that don't shift in the breeze.

Do not panic, Pim. This mushroom is used by Indians as antitumor drug, too. However, I recommend you to buy a book from Olaf Schmidt "Wood and Tree Fungi - Biology, Damage, Protection and Use" - just to improve in your hobby. Lol.
