Omphalotus nidiformis, 4/5/02

This photo was taken in total darkness, illuminated by a flash-gun which was held some distance from both the camera and the subject.
Subtle tinges of green indicate the phosphorescence, or "self"-illumination.

Each cup is approximately 200mm across. The field of this photo is roughly 350mm.
