Tiny life in Myrtle forest, Tasmania

Small blue fungus amongst the unmistakable shape of Myrtle leaves in a typical Tasmanian rainforest.
The first time you see these fungus, you assume they cannot be real. Their amazing colour does make them unique and attractive.
A particularly impressive example, I decided rather than interfere, to leave the small speck of dirt / debris on the front one, keeping it real as I like to do.
It could easily be cloned out if that’s your preference.

Dimensions: 3872×2592 pixels.

Thanks. It is how I found it, just a matter of getting into position to capture what I wanted to portray and choose appropriate camera settings accordingly.
What’s a rainforest without rain, eh?
Cheers!

Hi Adam, great interrupta shot, thought I had commented on this one already but apparently not. I hope to be able to capture one of these soon and add here, they are truly magnificent little beings. Well captured mate.

Like jellyfish, it is interesting when nature replicates itslef into a different form.

Wonderful colours. Amazing
Roslyn Lunetta

maybe I read the comments to quickly but no where does it say if these are etiable. lovey shot and the mushrooms really pop, we don’t have blue mushrooms here.
tasadam replied

Hhmmm. Edible blue mushies… Well, I don’t actually know whether they are or not, but I know I would not eat them – for two reasons…
1. Something about their appearance says just don’t…
2. Wouldn’t get much of a feed – they are very very small – less than a centimetre diameter.
That is how they look though – some see this image and assume it’s artificial. Thanks for your comments.
tasadam

Thank you all for your comments.

Adam Bykowski

Unbelievable mushrooms. That BLUE!. I’ve never seen anything like it. You have a great eye. I’ve commented on your work before, but never delved into your portfolio. What a fool I have been. Your work is awesome and you will be added to my watchlist.
