Two tiny mushrooms embrace each other on a rotting tree trunk. A contrast between new life and decaying life and between white and black in this micro landscape in autumn.
The photo was taken with an old lens where focus can only be manually adjusted by moving camera and lens, but which allows star magnification. These mushrooms are only a few millimetres in size and the crystals on the surface less than a millimetre.
This image was taken at the Oisterwijkse Vennen, Tilburg (NL) in autumn 2023.
