I couldn’t resist photographing this fungi yesterday morning. I had noticed it beginning to grow out of the soil the night before. My camera was ready at dawn.<\/p>\n

\"FungiFungi and dew laden grass \u2013 Canon R7, handheld, f8, 1\/200, ISO 1250, Canon 100-400mm at 148mm, natural light

The lemon meringue-colored fungi was intriguing, but I haven’t figured out yet what it is. The parasol shape was visually appealing to me too.<\/p>\n

To get the photos I took of it, I had my camera as close to the ground as I could get it and turned the LCD screen on, so I didn\u2019t need to use the viewfinder. I simply twisted the LCD screen so I could view it from above.<\/p>\n

I took a lot of photos of the fungi in dim light, hoping that some would turn out. I was pleased with most of the resulting images.<\/p>\n

Fungi represent a unique aspect of nature that is distinct from plants and animals. Mushrooms, toadstools, and lichens play a crucial role in ecosystems, contributing to nutrient cycling and supporting various forms of life. They exhibit a vast diversity in forms and functions.<\/p>\n

I’m glad I photographed this specimen very early in the morning. By the time the sun had lit it up, the fungi was already beginning to decay.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n

I have created a mushroom, toadstool, and lichen photo gallery which can be seen here<\/span><\/a>. ‘ll be adding the other fungi and lichen photos I have taken over the years to it as I have time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
