The good thing about the tiny little mushrooms that decided to grow on tiny little sticks is that you can easily pick them up and move around to photograph them the way you want and from any angle you want.
It is a huge advantage compared to all the tiny mushrooms that are stuck on the ground, and you have to remind yourself how to do yoga to take any photo. And even that doesn't always guarantee you will get a good and well-focused shot.
So I found myself a few of those sticks, picked a nice sunny spot to place them, and had all the time in the world (or unless the sun hides behind the clouds) to shoot and observe.
They all measured up to 2 cm across. And those were the biggest ones. You can also see how big the moss seems compared to them.
I shot top 👆 and bottom 👇 - something I can't always do with the other type..
Top 👆 and bottom 👇
They were popping from every crack in the bark or exposed, rotten wood.

Some were still so small they were hiding in a moss... or was the moss growing on them?
Can you see all the tiny white spots on the sticks? They will become mushrooms too. That's how it starts. Not larger than a millimeter will turn into another lovely, furry fan.
The spongy underside is slowly taking shape.
And then this guy showed up for a quick bite.
You can actually see some bitten parts. I guess it is not only snails and slugs that like to carve holes in the juicy flesh. The beetles do it too.

Wonderful Wildlife ✨ Never knew the spots are baby mushrooms. This was an insightful read. Keep it up!
Thank you! They do not look like mushrooms when so young :P
I like the perspective you had on the way you wanted to click the photo and not let nature just dictate 🤣 The crisp detail on the betel showed a lot of dedication you have for photography.
Hahaha cute mushrooms :D
Some mushrooms allow that, not all :) It was fun to move it around.
Amazing pictures! I love these things!
You remind me of reading a book called 'Entangled Life', last year. It's a fascinating book on fungi and how they are basically everywhere ( visible and often invisible ) and way more important than we think. It's kind of scientific though, not the easiest read, so I gave up half way through. Will get back to it soon.
Bom fim de semana!
Thank you!
The mook sounds interesting though. And yea, they are everywhere and so important!
Obrigada :)
Great photos. I have taken mushroom photos but not as good as these and seeing yours I think I should take better ones. I will do that when I go to the village 😅
Thanks a lot! We all shoot differently, if you are happy with the photos, you should post them :)
I'll shoot again and post them :)
Your photography in this series is amazing. Nature is incredibly beautiful, Ewkaw.
Thank you! :)
What a beautiful photograph, I love how this mushroom looks next to the greenery of the moss, and the one that looks like a sponge next to the insect is beautiful
If it is great to find mushrooms that are perched on a branch, it allows you to move them to be able to take photographs in a better place or a better position.
What beautiful varieties you have found, I love their shapes and the combination of colors,
Thank you very much dear friend @ewkaw for showing us your findings
have a great weekend
Thank you! I dont get to move them like that often, so it was cool :) I liked their colours too.
Have a great week ahead!
Wow, amazing. Macro photography at its best, congrats!

They would cover the whole little shroom :p
I know! And I don't take shots anywhere near as fantastic as yours. These are fabulous.

The mushrooms are very beautiful, especially there is small green moss on the side, photographing mushrooms is really fun
