A mushroom I find very beautiful is the shaggy scalycap (Pholiota squarrosa). It occurs very frequently in the German forests and prefers to live on deciduous trees. It can be found in autumn from September to November.
The following photo was taken one day in October with many clouds and little sun. The soft light makes the fine structures of the stalk and the cap appear particularly plastic. I like to use a floor tripod for such photos, because the light in the forest often requires somewhat longer exposure times. Here it was 1/8 second at aperture 5.6 and a set sensitivity of ISO 100.
