Plants & Fungi category, first place: Pluteus’ Fireflies

‘The endearing species Pluteus Velutinornatus with its velvety, mottled cap, almost animal like with lovely dark lined gills giving them so much dimension. I find myself greeting them with an audible “hello”. ... just catching the shifting sunlight through the forest. Holding domain over moss heads like tiny firefly.’

‘The clear night skies in national park of Western Australia are incredible. The landscape is dramatic displaying the vibrant red rocks that overpower the landscape. Looking south to the Polaris star, the night sky moves slowly from dusk to dawn. Capturing the essence of the Australian night sky took more than 600 photos to show the movement of light in the night sky.’
