 * Reason:This image has high EV, as it illustrates many of the important distinguishing characteristics of the mushroom: the silky threads on the cap surface; the crowded, pinkish gills; the volva at the base of the slightly curved stipe; and the typical substrate–clefts or knotholes on tree trunks. In addition, the image is high resolution and the background makes the mushroom stand out.

 * Support Not perfect: The roof in the background is a little distracting, and at full resolution, there's a little noise on the gills, and the base is slightly blurry - but quite ample for a work without focus stacking. Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:37, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Support - Strong example of a mushroom pic, good composition. Like the details on the head (not proper terminology, I know) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:34, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. JJ Harrison (talk) 06:17, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak support The background is a tad distracting, but the enc of the image mostly outweighs those issues.  Spencer T♦ C 02:34, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak oppose can't get over the background, it just distracts too much from the mushroom. Cat-five  t  c   13:20, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
