Yesterday I went out for a hike through the woods looking for signs of autumn. I found this little cluster of mushrooms growing in the hollow of some tree roots. You know a change of seasons is underway when the mushrooms start popping up.
A dozen perfect specimens (yes, I can count, the twelfth is hiding behind the mushroom on the lower left), layered just so. It was almost as if they’d arranged themselves into this pose and were patiently waiting for a photographer to find them.

This looks great in black and white, magical even!
Thanks! These mushrooms were a bland beige, and the background colours were distracting. Black and white to the rescue!
Well rescued!
Fantastic choice to use black and white, gives then an ethereal, luminous quality.
Thank you!
I love this! I wonder where you scared away the fairies to? 😉
Thanks! I think the fairies transform themselves into mushroom beetles when there are people around.
Beautiful, and I love that it’s in black and white!
Thanks Paige. I don’t do a lot of black and white, but I think it was the best choice for this image.
