Those are the things everyone experiences, but no one talks much about. If you are going to photograph mushrooms, you need to become immune to mosquitoes (as well as blackflies, deer flies, horse flies...). The lens fogging can be minimized by letting your camera acclimatize before taking the lens cap off. Going from an air-conditioned house to damp grass on the Gulf coast ain't gonna work. I wonder if anyone makes a suitably optical anti-fog spray for lenses? BTW, because of their typically rapid growth, mushrooms also make fabulous subjects for time-lapse photography. Ha ha ha!

My wife told me I needed to do some research to take better pictures. I found this site today. Having read a few articles, I went to get some coffee. Looking out my kitchen window, I saw a patch of mushrooms growing in the back yard. I thought, wow this would be a cool picture. I went and grabbed my new Nikon D3000, slapped on my new fixed lens and went out to take some pictures. Now I live on the gulf coast of Texas, so at 8:30 in the morning it is hot and humid. I lay down on the grass to take my first shot. As soon as I took my first shot a thousand mosquitoes attacked me. I got up, swatted them all and went for my next picture. As I lay down again, my lens began to fog up. I stood up again to let it dry out, swatting another thousand mosquitoes. The sun light was playing havoc, mosquitoes were attacking me, so I decided to go back inside. I took my coffe and saw the "How to" link. One artilce popped up. "How to photogragh mushrooms." If my dog has not destroyed them by this afternoon, I will make another brave attempt. I am new to photography. My wife told me I needed to do some research to take better pictures.

When you talk about cleaning them up a little, you should warn that many types of fungus are extremely fragile, so any cleaning needs to be done with great care. You don't want to ruin the perfect shot by breaking off a piece of the specimen just because of a little dirt. That's natural, after all.
