Must have missed this when it was first posted. I've posted to Wikipedia for some years, and when I've posted the same images here, I've made a comment to that effect.

That said, this is truly fantastic image Daniel.

This is actually a great lesson for every user to make Wiki page when there is no Wiki page made by anyone about any kind of Organism.

Spotting of the Day!

"Laternea stinkforn fungi need rainy conditions for their red dripping gelatine eggs to burst into foul smelling lantern structures."

Gracias por los comentarios. Claro, seguiré publicando algún material, aquí nada ha pasado pero que nos quede de lección para el futuro.

Thank you all for the comments. Sure I will keep posting but we need to learn from this bad issue for the future.

Que tal Daniel.
Comprendo como te sientes, debe haber sido un momento desagradable... Lo que sucedió es que hoy mismo ya habíamos tenido algunos "casos" y hubo un poco de paranoia. Creo que en adelante debemos tener un poco más de tacto al abordar estas situaciones. Espero que podamos dejar esto atrás Mae.

Hi Daniel. Please, don't be mad about what happened. People make mistakes, you know, but this site is a really good place to know more about nature and people who love it. Pictures like your's are a door to a wealth of information that ordinary people, like miself, wouldn't have access. Please, stay with us, and keep sharing your wonderfull images.
