“Mushroom magic”

Location: Mount Olympus, Pieria, Greece

“Agorastos Papatsanis illuminates swirls of spores appearing to dance beneath the gills of a deer shield mushroom.

Intent on revealing the magic of spore dispersal, Agorastos set up umbrellas to minimize airflow, positioned a light and a reflector, and angled his camera to highlight this often-unseen action as waves of ethereal dust. Billions of these tiny egg-shaped spores are dispersed by air currents. This wood-rotting fungus most often emerges on the stumps and fallen branches of broad-leaved trees.”

Mountainous Greece holds a special place in my heart❤
