Matthew Chaves, Photographer, New York

Description

An overhead flat lay photograph displays a diverse collection of foraged wild mushrooms, acorns, and patches of moss arranged neatly across a pale, textured textile surface. The specimens vary widely in size, shape, and color, featuring different cap designs, stalk lengths, and earthy tones ranging from whites and yellows to deep browns and bright oranges. Natural lighting casts soft, directional shadows across the composition, emphasizing the organic textures and granular soil details left on the roots. Captured from a straight-down perspective by photographer Matthew Chaves in New York, the arrangement highlights the varied morphology of forest fungi.
