Persistence
I find it hard to believe that the mushroom actually pushed the iron off the ground, but it makes a great image! Found in the pine forest at Wentworth Falls, Blue Mountains Australia a few weeks ago.

Pleased you like it!

It’s great love the way it pushed that tin out of the way,amazing feat for a shroom!
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
I’m still wondering if it pushed, or just was opportunistic and grew where the least resistance was!!! Thanks for the kind sords.
niggle

Rosalie Dale IPA replied

Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Appreciated Carol – I identify with its’ predicament!
Will Barton
Everything about this is superb Rosalie! The colour, lighting, DOF and viewpoint are all just spot on to make one great shot!
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
:+) Just down the road from your place, Will!! Wonder if they are still sprouting or if the weather’s done them in. Thanks for the encouragement!
Noelene Davies
Rosalie you have the amazing ability to make a simple little mushroom look fantastic. Wonderful capture and colours.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
This simple little mushroom has amazing powers Noelene – been known to make reindeers fly!!! Thanks for the kind words – pleased you like it.
Maximus
Natural spot lighting WOW didn’t know little buggers could be so strong. great find. :)
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
I know of people who wear a miner’s helmets with lights attached when seriously shooting shrooms Max – I wasn’t that keen (or prepared!!) so made do with a little ‘darkroom’ help here!
SharonD
Looks great Rosalie. I like the lighting.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Thanks heaps Sharon
Daniel Rayfield
gorgeous , well worth the wait
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Hey Dan – this was my first proper spotting of these mushrooms – not commonly found around here, so I was beside myself trying to get them all as best I could … couldn’t resist this particular scenario! Thanks my friend.
Daniel Fitzgerald
Great work!
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Thanks Daniel – isn’t the diversity of this site great – I shoot the little mushrooms and you catch the huge lightening vistas!! Great to share the different aspects of nature. I do appreciate your visit.
Deidre Cripwell
Beautiful capture
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Thanks Deidre – pleased you like it
Krys Bailey
Amazing light and colours! Great mood!
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Hey Krys – will have to see if I can find a fairy for this one maybe!
Krys Bailey
Hahaha! That would be perfect, Rosalie! ;o)
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Trouble is find the right sort of fairy! Any that hang out with red mushrooms are likely to be a bit strange methinks!!!
Krys Bailey
Hmmm … you have a point there! Perhaps an elf might be more agreeable! ;o)
Tainia Finlay
Magical capture Rosalie, love the title too, very apt!
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Thanks Tainia.
Ahmad Sabra
Great Shot!! how did u find it?
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Ahmad it was an accidental finding!! We stopped to shoot the misty pine forest, and also found masses of these mushrooms. Because I like rust, went to take a pic of this sheet of old iron, and found a hidden treasure! You never know what is going to pop up!

I certainly have this as a ‘fairy’ version also but just can’t quite get the fairy looking right yet Marie – will keep working on it!!! Pleased you like it – thank you.
tess1731
You can get arrested for going out dead of night looking for SOME mushrooms … Although I think this one was worth the risk for a picture like that.
Philip Golan
Love it.

Thanks for favouriting this Phil – it sat in my file for weeks before I put it up … just goes to show … !!!
Josie Jackson
Hi Rosalie, Fantastic lighting in this one Rosalie and great composition, we have them all over the place here at the moment and they can grow quite big, glad to see this one doing “pushups”, nicely captured…
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Yes I heard that Tassie the place for these fungi – they do seem to like a particular kind of pine/birch tree??? Now I know what to look for I have found a few more but they dry out very quickly and go yuck!! Thanks Josie.
