About This Image

While strolling down to a local creek to “chase” dragonflies and damselflies, I noticed these Turkey Tail muchrooms. What really caught my eyes were the different colors. While I don’t know how they grow, the differences between the green/blue parts closest to the fallen tree have me thinking that they are quite old, while the warm browns look like fresh growth.

Feedback Requested

I like the mix of wood and moss plus the different colors in the mushrooms. Does this photo do a good job of showing off both where and how these mushrooms grow in an attractive way?

Mark: Well spotted and even better captured. I love all the minute details in the mushroom and the environment and the color palette ain’t bad either. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen these IRL so this is another treat from you. Most excellent.>=))>

Terrific image Mark. The wood and mushrooms are both well displayed. Fine detail and color. The “upside down” tails are new to me too and are quite impressive. Very fine composition accomplishing your purpose.
