Aseroë rubra[edit]

Original - Aseroë rubra, commonly known as the anemone stinkhorn and sea anemone fungus, photographed in Springbrook, Queensland.
Reason
High resolution, high quality image of a rather strange looking fungi (not your standard little brown/big white mushroom). The composition is excellent, allowing differentiation between younger and older specimens, without a distracting background. The image is already featured on Commons and the Turkish Wikipedia.

  • Support per above. EV especially good since it appears to be on mulch, as mentioned in the article. Makeemlighter (talk) 04:27, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per above. Excellent image overall. Though I have one criticism, in that the picture is shot from such a high angle that you hardly see the stipe and don't get a sense of the fruiting body as an elevated structure. Peter G Werner (talk) 15:58, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
