We took a break after taking a lot of photos in the park.  We sat on a wooden chair, and a monitor lizard was just behind us.  While I was taking its photo, a butterfly clothed with different colour wings from the previous mentioned butterflies came by and I followed her steps silently to capture her photo, but she disappeared and I found these white mushrooms.  Their population was about hundreds, and they stay beside the bricks under the trees on top of the nutritious and moisture soil.

I lose my focus to the monitor lizard and butterfly.  I was surprised that there were such a lot of mushrooms appear themselves together at a same place.  I quickly point my camera lenses toward them.

Since they were under the trees, it was too dark and I had to use ISO 400, but it produced a lot of noises.  I did not bring my tripod.  I have no choices.  The mushrooms were on the surface of the soil.  My big tripod would be useless unless I have a short mini tripod.  The big tripod cannot hold the camera at a lower position where it almost touches the ground.  I think I should get one mini tripod.

When the mushrooms grown together at a same place, they look like a family.  The tallest would be the father, next would be the mother, and the smaller mushroom would be the siblings.  The grand parents also appear in giant shape.  Even the largest mushrooms are called giant and consider as great-grandparents here, but their diameter still did not exceed 3 cm.

I like to take the photo from the side of the mushrooms, but it was the most challenging position.  I used the largest aperture because of lack of light source, which causing some of the mushroom blurred.  Again, it reminded me that a tripod is a must.  I will not ignore the tripod next time.

Let us have a close look at this mushroom from the top view.  You can only see its umbrella-shaped roof top.  Luckily the texture on the umbrella still can be seen although it is not 100% sharp.

From the top view, can you notice that there are concave shapes in the middle of the mushrooms’ umbrella?  If this happen to a real umbrella, the center of the umbrella can accumulate water.

These were only part of them, if you have time and want to know how patient can you be, you can calculate how many mushrooms are there in the photo and let me know.
