This photograph captures two delicate Mycena fungi standing in the midst of a gentle shower, with the rich texture of bracken providing a soft backdrop. The shower brought the scene to life, highlighting the fragility of the mushrooms, whilst showcasing the resilience of fungi in the face of the elements.

The scene felt like a quiet moment of connection between different layers of the forest, which I captured to emphasise the beauty in nature’s smallest details, where even the most fragile forms find strength and harmony in their environment. This image is comprised of multiple images focus stacked together.
