This contest is open to photographers ranked between 1 and 250 in this week’s Leaderboard.
In large parts of the world now is a great time to get out and look for fungi. Like a lot of nature’s smaller wonders, it’s only when you start really looking for them, that you start really finding them. And wow, how exciting to see a new kind of fungus in full fruiting bloom, hoping for a positive identification, and of course getting flat on the ground and taking some great shots of it. Your shots can be fungi in the wild, in your foraging basket, or on a plate with a knife and fork poised ready for action, it’s entirely up to you!
Ranked Contests are a weekly chance to compete alongside photographers of a similar Leaderboard ranking. Three contests with the same theme run at one time - for photographers ranked 1-250; 251-1000; and 1001+. They open Saturday morning after that week’s leaderboard has been updated, and are open for 5 days. They are Premium Contests, Expert-judged, but with no Crowd vote, so are worth 3x the standard ranking points.
This contest is expert judged only with no rating by the crowd. You will be able to find out how you did when the judging or rating period has closed.
