Original – Thelephora palmata is a species of clavarioid fungus found in the Americas, Europe and Asia. It is commonly known as the stinking earthfan, because of its strong smell.

Reason: Stunning shot of a fungus known for its strong smell- nicely composed, good colours and interesting textures.

Support Nice frame --Cj.samson (talk) 17:36, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Beautiful photo, but I'm lacking an immediate sense scale. I thought they were trees to start with. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 20:13, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I strongly disagree. As long as you have some conception of the size of moss, the scale here is pretty clear. It's very similar in this regard to the vast majority of our fungal photographs, and I really struggle to see how it could be done much differently. Furthermore, the article is quite clear as to the size of the fruit bodies. J Milburn (talk) 21:23, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support – I believe this image meets the FP criteria. Sasata (talk) 17:37, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support per above. I think it needed some fill light at the font though. JJ Harrison (talk) 21:33, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Adam, and per the poor crop (not enough headspace, too much side space). Clegs (talk) 11:28, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
