Geastrum saccatum[edit]

Original - The earthstar fungus Geastrum saccatum.
Reason
Clearly shows all the important details of a bizarre-looking earthstar fungus, eg. the central pore surrounded by the circular "mouth", recurved rays (can even see the thickness of the rays); plus, the surrounding vegetation helps to give a size perspective. FP on French wikipedia.

  • Oppose Doesn't meet the quality requirements imo. The composition is also very cluttered with all of the stuff growing over it. Noodle snacks (talk)
  • Oppose per NS. In addition, there are some minor sharpness issues on the subject itself. SpencerT♦Nominate! 03:23, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
