Magpie ink cap fungi growing & liquefying timelapse

This time-lapse depicts a woodland floor with a Magpie Ink Cap, Coprinus picacea growing and liquefying. Filmed by Neil Bromhall for The blackish brown cap is covered with a white veil which cracks apart when growing, leaving scaly white patches. The cap liquefies to allow the mature spores to be exposed to the wind and carried away for dispersal. This was filmed in my studio over a period of three days using Nikon D300 cameras, Ellinchrom studio flash, humidifier and time lapse track Exposure interval 5 minutes Music ’Middle England’ by Debbie Wiseman filmed by Neil Bromhall
