Super Fungi
Forest floors are a mess. I know, because I spent the last 5 weekends in a row face-hugging it in a quest to document fungi. Floors are covered in pines, dry leafs, moss, sand, all with little sense to order or structure, just pure chaos. As a result, fungi too are typically messy, in various states of decay, damaged, ridden with dirt, growing in all directions.
Yet not this one. In all this chaos, this little mycena managed to grow up straight perfectly. Not only that, it also managed to grow a perfectly symmetrical hat. It's as if chaos does not apply to it, and it simply managed to execute its inbuilt growth plan and design without any hinder.

I went out today to a new spot to photograph a waterfall. But where there is a waterfall, there is mist, and where there is constant mist, there is bound to be fungi. I found some and I tried my hand at it a bit. And you are right, there is a lot of factors in how fungi grow. It really is a sight to see when you find such an immaculate specimen such as this!
Now, if only I were better at identifying them... Posted 10 years ago
