Variations on a Theme: Mushrooms / by Todd Henson

Mushrooms can be so fascinating, both in their variety and in how you can create such similar but different photographs of them. Todays topic focuses on two different mushrooms I found not very far apart on the forest floor, each growing from a fallen tree. They look very similar but have very different backgrounds and grew on either different fallen trees or different sections of the same tree. This provides an interesting comparison between them, variations on a theme, as it were.
