| Mycena austrofilopes | 17 09 2024 | North Acèh Regency, Acèh, Indonesia |
This afternoon, I found the Mycena austrophilopes mushroom growing in a dark corner of a small forest in my village. Initially, I was looking for a natural object to photograph when I saw this small mushroom standing gracefully on a leaf wet with rain residue. Its pale color was faintly visible in the dim light, but its structure and beauty attracted me to get closer.
I decided to attach a macro lens and use additional lighting to capture the details of this fungus. The small, thin hood looked fragile, but it looked so perfect in its umbrella formation. All around, the moist green leaves create a beautiful contrast, as if this mushroom is an isolated yet prominent figure among the simplicity of the forest.
Finding Mycena austrophilopes in a place like this taught me that natural beauty is often hidden in unexpected corners. As the forest begins to darken and the evening breeze blows gently, I feel lucky to be able to witness and capture one of these many small but amazing natural wonders.
