Reason: I believe this photo meets all of the FPC criteria: it is of a high technical standard, high resolution, and it is the best image I have ever seen of this species. The image is highly encyclopedic, illustrating simultaneously several characteristic identifying features (e.g., the hairs at the base of the stipe, spacing and arrangement of the gills and their attachment to the stipe, shape/color/texture of the cap, substrate and habit) all in one attractive image. As a work of a US government employee, the photo is public domain.

Comment. It is not clear to me whether the specimens at the top have been pushed flat, or even picked and laid flat, so that their gills are more clearly visible, or whether they are naturally growing in that unlikely-looking orientation. 86.151.119.226 (talk) 20:56, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The top ones have been clearly picked and layed down to show the underside gills. — raeky t 16:41, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
