Standing on the slope of a fallen log, its color bold against the black and deep green, I am dangerous this little mushroom cries!
I was looking for a park I had never gone to and started searching around areas south of Minneapolis. I came across Frontenac State Park near Red Wing, MN. It looked like it had good forested areas and a fair amount topography which can be hard to find in Minnesota. I brought my camera along figuring there would be some flowers to photograph, little did I know that what I would find was a forest full of many types of pretty mushrooms. I found these little guys growing on a blacked log, they were tiny and I would not have even noticed them if they had not been so bright orange. The forest was dark so I had to have my aperture wide open which gave me quite a narrow focal plane, but I think it gives these guys a bit of a dreamy look.
