Call me strange, but I think mushrooms are absolutely adorable. It’s so unfortunate that they’re associated with poison and drugs! I certainly got some raised eyebrows from my mom when I went through a phase in high school and drew mushrooms on every piece of paper I could find. In my mind, I associate them with fairytales and video games. It’s not hard to imagine a little pixie poised on one of these tiny toadstools. I photographed these cuties with a set of three macro extension tubes while I was out on excursion in Island Park. The biggest of these is about an inch tall, so I really had to get close! I ended up sore and quite damp from laying on the forest floor to get these shots, but I think they were worth it!
