October 2023: Fall Flora

 


While most people in this part of the world are dedicated to admiring the changing colors of autumn leaves, fall is also a great time to photograph mushrooms in the woods, as many varieties bloom at this time of year. Some of the prettiest are these bicolor boletes, which are pink and yellow. These beauties occur almost worldwide, so you should be able to find some out in the woods just about anywhere at this time of year.

I love photographing mushrooms simply because of the incredible variety they exhibit. Not all of them are what is typically seen as beautiful, but every last species holds at least some level of visual interest and that makes them wonderful photographic subjects.
