Fungi Fantastic

Enter the magical miniature world of fungi in these time-lapses by fungi photographer Stephen Axford. Two photographers, Steve Axford and Catherine Marciniak, only one intervalometer and a forecast of a stormy Sunday afternoon resulted in the story of a forest to go with the fabulous time-lapse photography Steve has been doing of fungi growing. Some of the fungi in this video are luminous fungi, Mycena chlorophos, the spikey fungi is an un-named new species and the video also features Coprinus disseminatus and a yellow fungi which needs some more research. There are also cameo performances by a trapdoor spider and a miniature slime mould. The music for this video is “Minor Madness“ by davej. We discovered this great didgeridoo track on triplej Unearthed and davej has generously allowed us to set our images to his composition.
