Day 4 of the 365-Project: Crumble Cap Mushroom
Why I Took This Image of the Crumble Cap Mushroom
This is the first time I came across this mushroom and I don’t have any images of it. I try to document natural things I enjoy looking at over making an artistic or great compositional image. Get a photo of it then I can work on making it better.
Another reason for publishing this image in the 365 Project right now is that these will not be around much longer. I can take photos of trees and such anytime during the winter so I’m saving those compositions when photography subjects are much harder to find.
It’s great that the temperatures are above average, at least for this project. In fact, I saw quite a few different mushrooms still fruiting when in years past there was snow on the ground.
In the post 2-days ago (Tiny Surprise), I mentioned an aspect of photography I like freezing the action. Today’s image is no different. When I started to edit the image I looked closer at those orange bumps on the bottom of the stick. Well, it is sawdust (if you will) made from a grub burrowing into the stick.
If you zoom in close enough (I’m not sure if it will show with the resolution of the jpeg on the website) you can see a part of it.
I hope you enjoyed this photo!
