🍄Mushrooms & Macro - Woodland Photography 🍄

In autumn Epping Forest is a living, breathing subject and a magical place for mushroom and woodland photography. The woodland floor, rich leaf litter, and decaying wood create ideal conditions for fungi, and for photographers!
We’ll be on the lookout for species like Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) with its iconic red cap and white spots, often appearing mid-October. We’ll also explore tree trunks, hollows, and fallen logs for other types of mushrooms such as: puffballs, brackets, and slime moulds.
