Hello fungi fans!

Hi there,

It is really great to stumble upon a group of people who are as OC about fungi as me - I swear my family think I am mad. They are always joking that I spend the majority of any walk with my face buried in the undergrowth emitting the occasional squeal of delight as I find a previously unseen fungi

. In the last year or so I have taken a large number of pictures of different fungi which I am gradually trying to identify in a rather amatuerish manner - better to be interested, even badly, than not interested at all, I say! Anyway I have included a couple of pictures of ones that are giving me grief, with the hope that you guys might be able to point me in the right direction as to identity.

Many thanks in advance

Hi

WAB is cool

I think you need to re post the pics as they have not come out. Go into Gallery and upload and label under forum pics and copy and paste code

Thank you Harimau!

I apologise for posting twice - the evil system told me that my first post did not work

I think I understand what you are getting at - I will try and see. I usually end up confusing myself and all others in a large vicinity, so be warned

Ok, I give up, this site is determined not to let me post my pictures. Apparently they are too large to upload onto the Gallery

.

I will work on this and may post with some of my photos tomorrow with any luck!

Hi Rachel

Don't give up.

Sounds like you have mastered how to upload the pictures but need to resize them first. I am assuming they are images taken with a digital camera in which case the camera would have come with software including a browser. This being the case open up the browser right click on the image and select export. On the screen that appears select the location i.e.My Pictures, set the size in dpi say 800x600, set the quality to medium and format as jpg. and hit ok. You should then be able to select and upload these images to the untitled Gallery without difficulty.
Any problems, come back and we will try something else.

Gerry
