Yellow Staghorn

Another specimen of this bright yellow fungus. They are my favourite mushroom species. As tiny as they often are, you have to keep your eyes open when walking in woodlands with conifer tree stumps, as they tend to grow on those.

Amethyst Deceiver

This tiny purple mushroom stood out against a bright yellowy green leaf in the background. With the relatively short minimum focusing distance of a 100-400mm lens, it's easy to create buttery smooth bokeh fore- and backgrounds.
