New Camera

 
This year the Winter White-tailed Eagle Feeding Ground Camera starts a little later than in previous years. The camera was installed on December 8, with the assistance of Tiit and Joosep, but we only managed to get the sound in working order in the new year, with the help of Beta Group.

Mushroom maggot.
 
The authors of the books below, Kuulo Kalamees and Vello Liiv, have brought Estonian mushroom field guides to a really respectable level. Everyone with a leaning towards forest rambles should carry a “mushroomer’s pocket guide“ in their pockets. A very good aid, particularly in view of this year’s cases of mushroom poisoning.
 
Vello Liiv presents his mushroom photos in Rõuge on Thursday, September 10.
 
"400 Eesti seent – [400 Estonian fungi]" and "100 söögiseent – [100 edible mushrooms]":  How long did it take to collect the photo material?
There is no precise answer to the question, because I didn’t collect material specifically for those books. The photos were made during a  very long period. The oldest slide is nearly 40 years old. But the greater part of the material I have photographed during the last 10 years. At the time of publishing I still had quite few digital photos.
 
How rich, from a mycological point of view, is your home area Viidumäe?
I made my home at Viidumäe 25 years ago precisely because of the variety of species, but I think that even today the greater part has still not been determined!
 
Your favourite mushroom model?

It seems that I am the collector type, so each new find to add to the collection makes one happy - like a stamp collector. Of course there are mushrooms that I have photographed tens of times, to catch different stages of development, or hoping to get a higher-quality photo. I should mention that the primary aim of my mushroom photos is to show the characteristic traits of the species. The artistic value of the image comes in second place.
