Happy Mushroom Friday! Today I'm back with some mushroom catches that I'll be submitting to the #FungiFriday, hosted by @ewkaw.

About 4 days ago, I was told by a friend that in a warehouse that was used as a dumping ground for his palm oil waste, there was a lot of fungus growing. He was kind enough to invite me there, and of course, I gladly accepted the invitation.

The warehouse is not far from my parents' house; it only takes about 15 minutes away on foot. When I got there, I immediately couldn't wait to enter the warehouse. Well, there are a lot of harefoot mushrooms (Coprinopsis lagopus) growing there. But the atmosphere in the warehouse is quite dark, and there are no lights. There is only a little sunlight coming in from the cracks of the vent.

This situation makes me a little frustrated because my phone camera certainly can't catch mushrooms with maximum exposure. But I still take pictures even though the lighting is low. Because at that time, I was reminded of the phrase, "All roads lead to Rome." With the help of Lightroom's magical power, I can definitely "conjure" the mushrooms to look beautiful. Here are the results:

I almost asked where the light came from towards the mushroom with so much delight to the eye when looking at it, but you yourself have already told the answer. You are indeed a professional macro wizard :)

I think you are praising me too much. It's just a little trick to make them turn on. 😄 Anyway, thanks for the compliment, buddy.
