That I’m obsessed with photographing trees is no news – anything to do with trees, leaves, moss, bark, especially mossy bark. But what I’ve never really thought about is how fascinating mushrooms could be. I’ve been so caught up by the beauty of trees that I’ve completely forgotten to look for the wonders in other types of organisms. Sapo became a real eye-opener for me. The diversity of mushrooms in the jungle! The colours, the patterns, the shapes. I couldn’t stop. I became known among the rangers as the mushroom fanatic, and every time anyone saw a new species, they pointed it out to me. I was in amateur photographer’s heaven.
