Very neat mushroom shot! Although many 'ear' mushrooms are edible, some are incredibly toxic. There is an orange one here called Jack O'Lantern that actually glows in the dark (bioluminescent), but it could kill you in a heartbeat if eaten. I'm wondering if yours is the same one? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omphalotus_olearius If so, cut one off and take it into a completely dark room and after your eyes have adjusted in 5-10 minutes you will see it glowing in great detail!

Coming across one of these is like finding a little surprise around the corner...lovely shot.
That's a great shot. They actually look like mushrooms growing on a tree. :)
Very nice detail. Like the color contrast too. Nice job.
I hope this lovely fungi is edible, and taste succulent.
