This is a photograph of some tiny mushrooms growing out of a well-weathered garden gate post. The scene reminded me of something out of a fairytale but my photographs lacked how my mind viewed the scene, so – unusually for me – I have manipulated the image a little by adding a shaft of light on the largest mushroom.

It does look fairytale-ish! The spiraling wood reminds me of a mountain. Very nice!!

They do look like umbrellas don’t they?! They look quite big here but they were only a couple of centimetres tall; so tiny!

elfish or alicein wonderland, those mushroom stand out from the background purely by their colour.
