I really like this shot. It's an interesting perspective on an object. I would have considered perhaps three changes... Possibly remove the small plant in front of the mushroom, possibly use some tin-foil or something similar to reflect a little more light under the mushroom, and possibly remove the out-of-focus object in the lower left corner.

A lot of people are drawn to brighter objects and in this photo it is the top of the mushroom and the out-of-focus object in lower left. Removing this object and lighting the underside of the mushroom slightly would have kept my focus on the mushroom more - it looks like there is a lot of detail and texture underneath to look at but it's a little difficult.

It's still a great shot though.

Some variety of Boletus? Impressive composition, focus, and exposure considering the "setup." As I remember you're in competition with some worms/larvae which seem to be already resident in the mushroom even as it sprouts.

Nice mushroom shot. It might have been a bit better if you had removed some of the extraneous foliage before making the shot.

Great shot. I would have picked the little plants infront of it. they are a bit distracting from the main subject,
