- Question I'm a fan, but what is the E-W streak along the bottom of the tip? upstateNYer 02:14, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Oppose. Sorry, it's an interesting mushroom, and I can certainly see where the family name comes from! But I'm not a big fan of the composition. It seems cropped a bit too tight and there is some strong chromatic abberation. My guess is that the 'streak' is a cobweb lit up by the light. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 09:57, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak oppose: I just don't think this one is up to the same standards as our other FPs. I don't like the crop or the composition, and the colour doesn't look perfect either. J Milburn (talk) 11:22, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Oppose - Not too bad, but nothing outstanding, not something that deserves to be a featured picture in my opinion. - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 15:38, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
