You have indeed pictured this fungus well, so I can see why this photo is a winner. Congratulations ! I especially like the limited color pallet, and also how well the fungus is standing out from the softened background.
The photo is very sharp showing clear and well defined details in every part of the fungus, and the exposure is perfect.
The tall format is the best, and the fungus has got a fine placement within the frame. The vignette you have added is fine. It is a great looking and well taken photo Lee Ann, and with an excellent DOF.

Nice shot, well focused with good composition eliminating distractions in the background with a slight blur. I believe the Dryad is an edible mushroom when young. Thanks for entering the contest :)

An interesting submission into the contest. I've seen similar fungi on tree trunks but not stacked like these. Good focus and clarity showing great detail of this fungus; good luck in the contest.

A good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and full composition gives an enjoyable view of those pretty mushrooms. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

This image of Dryad's Saddle mushrooms is very interesting and unusual. You have a lot of detail with this sharp focus. Good texture, clarity and the colour of the mushrooms stands out well against the background. Good luck in the contest, cheers.
