well, what can I advise you?

mushrooms is a great props / subject for the photo exercises. personally, I love their weird shapes and alienated nature. and divercity of shapes, forms, colours. and - they stand still, dont run, you can more or less return to them when the lighting condition have changed, or - again, more or less - change the lighting conditions, use tripod, take long exposure, etc. very priceless, when you doing macro photography (not like with insects and butterflies, haha!)

good photographer nowdays has to learn the art of editing, retouching, digital manipulation. wish you well at this path!
