A memorable autumn of 2022 when the temperature, rain, and everything else aligned so perfectly for the mushrooms to grow. They took their chance and were growing like crazy everywhere! Different kinds next to each other, large colonies of the same type... all wanted their 5 minutes and a chance to spread as many spores as possible.
I took my chance to shoot as many as possible, too. And these little ones were the most common ones to see. Millions of tiny little white hats spread through the forest. It was a beautiful view when you just looked around, and quite rare. It was impossible for me to photograph them all, even though I tried. Oh, I tried very hard, and so I have dozens and dozens of photos with these little guys.
No sticks or needles would stop them, and they would push through no matter what. Small but mighty :)
And all the rough textures around them make them look even more delicate.
Can you spot the nasty mosquito?
Bonus shots: the autumn leaves are all bitten up by some hungry little beast. They have so many holes that they start to look like intricate lace.
