Thanks for the generous comments to Daves Mann and Brook, Christine, Don, Ecke and Steve. If I have to worry about getting too close to the fungi, then Bill Robb's lenses must be toast. The colours got a little help. The mushroom itself is untouched save for a little levels and saturation, but the grass had some golden highlights on the right that unbalanced the composition and flattened the 3D illusion (warm colours advance, cool colours recede). I selected and re-hued them (PSE8: enhance>adjust color>replace color) to blend better with the left hand side that was shaded from the golden hour sunlight. Some dark vignette, a watermark and Bob's your uncle, it's more real than reality. If anybody can name that mushroom/toadstool I'll add that to the caption and tags and give you credit for the info.
