Mushrooms - hardworking forest workers

Our forests are full of them: mushrooms. They are mysterious, diverse, useful and rich in species. They are neither animals nor plants, they work in secret and renew our livelihood - the forests. Only their fruiting bodies, which make up only a fraction of their totality, can be seen. The remainder is hidden under the earth as a network of roots covering several kilometers. There are many so-called medicinal mushrooms among them. In traditional Chinese medicine, many of them are processed in naturopathy and used for healing purposes. Again and again, nature - and in particular the mushrooms in the forest - shows us its biodiversity, beauty and graceful wildness. The fascination of these creatures is indescribable. This is what fascinates me personally about nature photography. And so I want to pass it on with my photos and make it accessible to others.
