Welcome back to the Picture of the Month Contest !

 

Here we can take a short moment, to nominate and give recognition to the photographers and images you think have gone above and beyond on this forum. Pictures that awed and inspired you, deserve to be given credit and recognition.

Thank those who shared them in the Forums with a nomination. Whether they be artsy, creative, accomplishments, or just downright impressive, this is where we want you to recognize them. If you love it, post it here.

When you nominate an image please upload the image to this thread, tell us who took the picture, and copy the specific post location where to find it. There's a wealth of quality pictures every month here, and many of us want to see them and recognize those behind the lens. Good luck to all of those involved. Nominations can be made from March 1st, until March 31st.

The voting poll will be put up March 31st, or April 1st, and remain open for 15 days. The votes will be counted, and the winner  will be announced at the close of the poll.
Who knows, maybe you'll be nominated.

Alright.....I'll play by myself........pretty sure this is a gubment plot and sinister creation.....see it doesn't burn.....

 

Juthro didn't say that I DID......and it's called being facetious....still I love this picture that he took because it reminds me of being a child and wishing for "snow days"

 

Sled riding was way more fun that school any way.....kinda looks like it's ready to go into fruiting conditions.....

I liked the unique look & colors in this photo, normally mushroom pics don't look like this and it caught my eye.

I'd like to make this nomination from ItBeBasidia who posted this photo as the 4105 entry in the Communal Woodlovers grow log.

I love how the mycelium is tearing up the substrate and the detail of the photo is supurb.

Very nice noms Arathu ! You beat me to the one by ElPirana.

Edited by Skywatcher, 27 March 2021 - 06:58 PM.

[Oldpunk]

Thanks for the nomination.
Im personally voting for pirana and those white beauties. Liked it so much I ordered some albino A+ spores.

[Auhron]

Well then, those pretty white cubes (not sure if they're truly albino or just leucistic) from ElPirana have already been nominated. I'd say that's going to be an early favorite, very photogenic fungi!

[ElPirana]

Thank you all for the kind words and for the nomination. The mushrooms are pasty white, they are definitely leucistic as the spore prints appear to be very brown.

[Skywatcher]
