There you go SS, that's a great piece. Thank you for the write-up. Though I am not a fan of mushrooms or fungi I do appreciate their role in nature, unfortunately they most often lurk in the dark corners or hidden from plain view. Using your technique of lighting I may even give it a try one day. For 'down-to-earth' photography I bought this little gadget (C-clamp, tripod combo) during one of may many trips to Hamburg, Germany in the early 90s. Besides photography this served me well for placing an audio recorder for recording of folk singers in my ancestral village.
