I took this photo in the Leuvevenum forest near Ermelo on the Veluwe. These little mushrooms were on a sawn-off log that was lying on the ground, they were on the sawn surface of the tree trunk to be precise. I used a small reflection screen for this macro photo to better highlight the underside of the mushrooms, I had also used my camera on a tripod to keep my camera steady. I also chose to take this macro photo in colour. I chose to make the background blurry, in the blurry background you can see a fallen tree lying on the ground. If you look closely, you can see in the background outlines of a branch lying on the ground. I just don't know which mushroom species it is, it's only small mushrooms of a few centimetres. It was already autumn when I took this photo.
