Photographing Fungi in Tasmania
There are a lot of great locations close to Hobart for photographing fungi in the cool and wet Tasmanian autumn. I run regular photography tours to Mt Field, the Styx Valley and the Upper Florentine Valley which are now part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. I also have a shorter “Hobart & Surrounds” trip where fungi is common in the autumn months. Here is Part 1 of shots from the past few months, with some attempt at ID with the very handy “Fungi Flip” 🙂
A capless fungi which I havent identified, Mt Field National Park
The same capless fungi, but a shot looking up at the gills of the fungi with some beautiful bokeh sunlight in the frame
Postia punctata at Mt Field National Park. Gave the K1 “Pixel Shift” feature a test run on this shot, and I must say the clarity on the water droplets is sublime…
Mycena kuurkacea, Mt Field National Park
Fungi in the Upper Florentine Forest, Tasmania
Clavulinopsis sulcata and the lush greens of the Upper Florentine Valley rainforest
Very photogenic orange fungi against the delicious greens of the mossy forest
Dermocybe canaria – quite tall and standing out in its bright canary yellow
Another one I cant quite find a name for – perhaps its a Dermocybe kula… Upper Florentine Valley
I have shot a lot of fungi this season so will no doubt have another blog post or two to share in the weeks ahead!
