Howdy #believeinfilm! Name's Devan. I'm currently working on a year long project photographing #mushrooms in black and white along a single trail at Patapsco Valley State Park in Maryland with various film cameras.
I've been learning about #mycology along the way and hope to produce a book or zine at the end of this showcasing all the weird and wonderful mushrooms I've found!

@devanopolis The photos are great. Love the light in the 2nd in particular.
@Debrawilsonsays Thank you! I got lucky both in finding the honey mushrooms and having some nice back lighting from the sun that day. It's definitely one of my favorites so far and gives off "high school biology textbook" vibes to me.
@devanopolis great images and a fascinating subject………
@Tylaar Thanks. It came about by accident that I'd be photographing mushrooms. Taking photos in the woods is difficult for me but I love hiking. Then I remembered I had an Audubon's field guide from maybe four years prior. The area where I hike for this project had probably a half dozen different species when I started so I figured it was something I could keep shooting throughout the year and it wouldn't completely dead end or that I'd lose interest. So far it's worked in my favor!
@devanopolis ooooh what a lovely project and photos so far! Welcome to mastodon from a local photographer and forager :)
@devanopolis I've not been here very long but the volume of mushrooms pictures I've seen is astounding. Love it, thank you for sharing! 🍄🙂
@devanopolis I love photographing #fungi too. You’ve taken some great pictures
