Wild Mushroom - Fungi Photography Wiltshire and Gloucestershire
Fungi bring colour, texture, and wonder to UK woodlands, especially in autumn. This gallery captures a selection of species in their natural habitats, highlighting their shapes, patterns, and environments. I’ll be running small, hands-on fungi photography workshops in 2026 — if you’d like to know more check out my workshop page sign up here.
