Mushroom Forest

After the heavy rains earlier in the week i was putting out the garbage bins and down the hillside 'tween the house and hill was a village of mushrooms.


Its not a very good photo as the light was in extreme of bright sunlight and deep shade. Now, three days later, they are dried and falling over. Still, i was able to get some nice shots of small groups:




There is something i like about mushrooms although i'm not so sure what that is. They never last very long and when fresh, new they seem so alive in a rather static manner. And no two are ever alike. And they live underground as spores and then ever so often pop up for a breath of fresh air and then they are gone and a few days later there is no sign they were ever there.

I've been shooting mushrooms for years but only at a low lever of capture; i have met photographers who bring with them to shoot, light, light boxes, reflectors, etc. I sorta like keeping it simple and each has its own distinct outcome. Here are few earlier shots:



 'Nuff mushrooms for now.
