I wonder if they picked this one and then shone a bright light through the top to achieve this effect. I can never get a cool shot like this of undisturbed mushies. Looks like a super long stipe, though.

Would a longer exposure do the same without shining a bright light through it?

Doing a super long exposure would result in a lot of those darker areas being brighter as well

To achieve this kind of effect you would need an intense light source above it due to the thickness of most mushroom tips

Doing a super long exposure can result in some really cool looking shots with plants and fungi, but this one I'd confidently say isn't a long exposure

You might be a bug when your wedding is also your beheading

If NYC could, believe me they would.

Bug rave under the mushroom cap

Now there’s a burning man camp idea

I one saw a parasol that has white cloth hanging from the underside like this in France. (Not in the same organic pattern, but if the wind went through it it kind of looked like this)

Should've asked where they bought it, because there's no way I can find them now.
