Conocybe tenera

Today, I spent some time in a small forest area near my village, hoping to find something interesting to photograph. After walking around for a while, I found a group of Conocybe tenera mushrooms growing in damp and slightly mossy soil. Its distinctive color—a fragile-looking light brown cap and thin stem—immediately caught my eye.

Carefully, I approached these mushrooms so as not to disturb their habitat. I attached a macro lens and began adjusting the light to capture the fine details on the underside of the hat and the texture of the thin stem. Despite its small size, the structure of this mushroom is truly amazing. I also noticed that Conocybe tenera is quite fragile, so I had to be extra careful not to touch it too hard when photographing.

I chose to take several different photo angles to show the unique shape of this mushroom. At one angle, I focused on the creased details of the cap, while at another angle, I tried to highlight the length and fragility of the stem. It feels like capturing the hidden beauty of nature, something that may escape the attention of many people due to its small size and hidden habitat.
