Tiny mushrooms growing on the bark of a silver maple tree in northern Wisconsin
Each mushroom cap measured no more than about 6mm across.

I kind of think this little mushie looks like a UFO!
This was taken a while back, unfortunately I've not been able to go 'shroomin' this last year.. But I'm Hoping to this autumn 🍄🍂
I'm not quite sure what mushroom this is.. If anyone knows let me know!
I might have gone a bit heavy on the vignette here.. but I like it anyway. I didn't fancy trying to find the image in lightroom again to adjust it!
The sweet beginnings of a shaggy ink cap mushroom, having just pushed up from the earth. Just a few cm in height. Soon the bell- shaped cap will open out.
I wanted to record this initial stage before the stalk grew and the more classic mushroom shape development began.
I've learned some truly interesting words along the way, one of which is 'puhpowee'....a Native American Algonquian word for the force that causes mushrooms to push up and appear overnight.

Spotted these baby mushrooms the other day while visiting a nearby arboretum. It was still early in the morning and there was a definite chill in the air, and ground was covered in dew.
Perfect Fall morning, if you ask me.

These tiny little mushrooms popped up after some cool weather and rain. Fun to get on the ground and do some macro shots of them.
While out enjoying the woods, I noticed some tiny Blush shaded Mycena Mushrooms decorating the mossy trunks of the fir trees. The warm afternoon autumn sunlight was reflecting off this one just right.
Taken at 1/6's at f/11 at 375mm, iso 800 ( no cropping)

This mushroom is about the smallest I have photographed so far. The cap was about the size of a plastic pinhead. The 'sugar coating' texture of the cap was not visible to the naked eye. It looks similar to a 'Frosty Bonnet' (Mycena tenerrima) to me but the mycologist just called it a 'Mycena sp.'. It was growing on a decaying nikau palm frond in New Zealand native forest. Size: cap diameter about 1.5 mm (0.06 in), 5 mm (0.2 in) tall. Technical notes: Focus stacked from 65 images in Zerene Stacker. 26 mm extension tubes and Raynox 250 macro conversion lens added to Olympus 60 mm macro lens. Lit with 2 LED panels.
West Pond, Parsonsfield, Maine.
Found growing on a rotting piece of wood today, these are the tiniest mushrooms that I have ever photographed, the entire cluster is about as big as a dime.
I saw this pretty little grouping of mushrooms recently, I believe genus Parasola.
Around 50 mm in height

...you're sure of a big surprise!! Mine was a cold, wet and rainy one. I didn't find much of interest and was a little bored taking shots of this teenie weenie fungi! It was windy, and this little feather landed next to it! Now it was fun! This is for Macro Mondays..."Into the Woods".
The only reason I was able to capture this mushroom in focus at f/1.6 was because of its small size. The moss was on the side of a stump and luckily the Mushroom wasn't in the band of light.
Within genus Mycena, commonly known as bonnets - a trio of mushrooms that were so very tiny, no more than 10 mm height.
Mushrooms within this genus have caps that are rarely bigger than a few cm in diameter.
Behind the trio is a nasturtium stem for scale.

When filling the birdfeeders yesterday I happened to glance down and spotted a few of these tiny mushrooms growing directly underneath the safflower seed feeder. Not a great place to grow.
There was another clump of mushrooms just to the right of these two, but those looked like they had been chewed on and stepped on by anyone and everyone who ventured under that feeder.
These two look like they are standing guard over several other baby mushies which I didn't notice at the time. The ground is unsightly, covered by the cast-off safflower seed hulls.
One of those things you don't notice when taking the shot. I should have gotten out the 100mm macro lens for this, but I was too lazy... :/
Happy Hump Day.
The Fall mushrooms are here, springing up all over my backyard.
I think the squirrels beat me to the best ones, but still found a few intact.
Found these two tiny mushrooms which proved rather difficult to get shots of. But perseverance paid off and I finally got a few that turned out.
Spotted these mini-mushrooms along one of the trails while visiting a nearby arboretum the other day.
The trail was in a wooded area so I was looking hard for mushrooms - only to find most had already been "discovered" and half eaten, and not at all photo worthy. So finding this pinecone was a real treat! And I overlooked the fact that even one of these appeared to have been nibbled on.
Below are a few more I happened across along the trail still mainly intact.
Cold with snow showers this entire weekend, so an archival shot for today.
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D
I love the moss that grows on the great rocks along the trails on the way down to the Clarion River. The woods feel so deep and dark. We wait quietly on the river bank. Waiting in the dark shadows of the trees. For the indians to come down the river in their canoes..

Think I'm a bit late this year to hunt for mushrooms to photograph, there wasn't many at my usual haunt apart from loads of small ones like this. These ones were growing out of the side of a moss covered fallen tree.
Noticed several very small mushrooms about the size of an eraser in our backyard the other day and grabbed my camera to check them out.
Unfortunately almost all of them looked like something had taken a bite out of the caps. This was the only one not nibbled on.
Clearly it was smiling because no one had taken a bite out of it - or had no one taken a bite because of that creepy cute little smile?

I often find these fungi after a period of very wet weather, and it’s been very wet around here just recently. www.ChrisDraperPhotography.com
Three delicate mushrooms glowing softly in the evening light on my property in Winlock, WA. It was nearly dark when I found them, so I used two small light cubes to mimic the warmth of late sunshine filtering through the forest. Captured with my Nikon Z6II and Nikkor Z 105mm f/2.8 Macro. This image is a stacked composite blended in Helicon Focus for depth, then refined in Lightroom and Photoshop to bring out the dreamy bokeh and fine texture of the gills.
A quiet reminder that even the smallest things in the woods can light up the day. 🌿🍄✨
After doing some research I believe these are Cinnabar Chanterelle (Cantharellus cinnabarinus) mushrooms. They are just tiny little things - only about 1/2" (1.27cm) tall - if they weren't so colorful I would have missed them all together.
I love nature's surprises!
