Today I felt very lucky to be able to photograph two small mushrooms growing behind my house. The first mushroom grew on a rotten log, while the second grew on a banana leaf that was also rotting. Both were really tiny and that's what really interested me. As someone who likes to photograph macro objects, these mushrooms are a challenge because of their small size.
The first mushroom is a type of Marasmius, which is characterized by a thin stem and a cap that tends to be transparent.
While the second mushroom is Mycena, with a softer shape and beautiful color.
I really enjoyed the moment when photographing them, because it requires more patience and precision. The result makes me satisfied, although it is indeed quite a stressful challenge!
As a size reference, I compare these mushrooms with my index finger. You can see for yourself how small they are! Very adorable and unique, right?
I am so excited to share this simple photoshoot with this amazing community. I hope you all enjoy it, and I am certainly open to your feedback and guidance. Thank you for taking the time to check out my work!
