I took this photo of a mushroom in the Strokelbos near Harderwijk. As you can see, this mushroom is among the moss, there are also pine needles from conifers that are near this mushroom. This mushroom is quite inconspicuous and certainly among the fallen leaves on the ground. To take this photo, I used 2 reporter flash units and a reflection screen. I chose to keep the background a bit darker to make this mushroom stand out better. I also chose to use a low vantage point so you can see the underside of the hat clearly. I don't know what kind of mushroom it is, but it was worth taking a picture of. Even though I used a macro lens for this photo, it turned out to be more of a close-up.
