We had a very rainy spring when I took the photo of these shelf fungi. I didn’t publish it as I was hoping to pair it with something similar. Except for a brief period this summer when it rained so much we had flood conditions it’s barely rained since, so I thought I’d try a black and white treatment of a colour photograph I’ve posted before.

How interesting. Are these mushrooms really growing out like a shelf?

i love both of these, but i think i would have lowered the grass on the first shot so the stump would stand out better.

Hi Belinda, The monochrome brings out the various textures nicely. Especially the dots on the mushroom cap.

Sweet shots. 🙂 I love mushrooms! Too bone dry here all summer long! The mushrooms must be disappointed!

Thank you Tom. It’s been a strange summer – very dry and except for flowers the “usual suspects” are scarce😏

Very nice B&W treatment, Belinda. I love how the textures of the tree bark, pine needles, and the top of the fungus all stand out.
