Last night I posted a moon shot over the lake from my bike commute home. This morning, back on my bike to work, lake doesn’t disappoint

If you like mushrooms, Tasmania is the place to be in Autumn. These are from a recent hike along the Three Capes walk.
The Three Capes hike is a fantastic walk if you like that sort of thing. Everybody else was admiring the stunning scenery, while I was looking down at my feet in the moss and ferns looking for shrooms. Sadly, all I took was my iPhone with a crappy macro lens attachment. Next time I will take a proper camera.

A ghost mushroom on my farm in Australia
Ghost mushrooms (Omphalotus nidiformis) come out each year on my regenerating bush block in Australia. These mushrooms glow in the dark by their own light production. They do not need to be illuminated in any way and do not need to store energy from daytime light. Their biochemistry intrinsically generates light. You can find them in dark forests by their soft green glow. They typically grown on fallen rotting logs and trees.
This is not how these mushrooms look like to the naked eye. Their glow is much fainter. I have used a very long exposure to capture and exaggerate the glow, the same technique I use when photographing stars at night.
Tech details for those interested:
Sony A7Rv
Samyang 24mm lens at f/2.5
30 second exposure at ISO 3200
4 separate images stacked to reduce noise
