Lovely shots Emma, and quite topical for me.
I've just purchased Blacks nature guide to Mushrooms & Toadstools. Thought it about time I tried to know what I see when I'm out. lol

These are beautifully lit Emma. How? Reflector, flash or both?

Thanks for your comments.
Adrian: Some flash but no reflector in all of the pictures.
Keith: That's a good guide. I also like the Collins Guide to UK toadstools (Santa might be bringing it for me!)
