Digital Photography for the Field Mycologist - evaluation of the Nikon Coolpix 5000 Digital Photography for the Field Mycologist - evaluation of the Nikon Coolpix 5000 Accurate identification of the larger fungi often involves a two-stage process. Observations on fresh fruit bodies in the field are followed by detailed microscopic examination at home. Generally there is insufficient time to examine all specimens collected under the microscope while they are still in a fresh condition following a days foraying. However, this is not of concern since most material can be dried and then reconstituted for examination at a later date. The advent of the digital camera has provided a new opportunity for the field mycologist to record both the whole fruiting body and important microscopic structures such as spores in a form that can be readily shared with other mycologists via email and Internet based discussion groups.
