Bonjour Josep,
La profondeur de champ ne me paraît pas excellente mais les sujets sont tout de męme relativement bien valorisés dans leur environnement.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.

Hola Josep Ignasi,

The currently accepted name of this taxon is Coprinopsis picacea (Bull.) Redhead, Vilgalys & Moncalvo, because the old Coprinus genus is, according to the modern phyllogenetical studies, already divided to 5 generas, which even belong to 2 families - the remaining Coprinus genus to Agaricaceae, while all the others (Coprinellus, Coprinopsis, Parasola, Xerocoprinus) to Psathyrellaceae!

The photo is OK, but so-so to me. I mean not bad, but nothing extraordinary either. Sharpness could be a bit better, and probably the vertical format would be a better choice for composition this time. At least in my opinion.

Have a great festive season, best regards, László
