Needed a new wallpaper and got inspired by this beautiful moss photo by Alvin Engler (unsplash.com/photos/macro... ). Thank you Alvin for sharing your work, I hope you enjoy the small goblin sitting on it!

Focus shot of a group of pixie cup (cladonia) lichen growing from a base of layered, leafy lobes on top of a gnarly rotting log. They have tall stalks gradually flaring into goblet-shaped cups and they’re covered in granules. Their colors range from light green, to yellow-green to turquoise. It looks like a miniature green world on a rock formation.

A bolete mushroom with a smooth bulbous brown cap, a pale yellow porous underside and a thick tapered orange-brown stipe is growing from a moss-covered tree root in a forest. The convex cap is covered in a slimy veil making it very shiny and glossy. There’s another small beige gilled mushroom with a flat cap growing below it and some fallen leaves and hairy beech nut husks.

Slightly looking down at a group of five elongated upright, club-shaped, black fungi sticking out the side of a rotting charcoal-colored log. They resemble zombie fingers, which is why they’re called dead man’s fingers (Xylaria polymorpha).

a photo of a greenish brown slug curled up on the cap of a white mushroom. I don't know if it's asleep but I'll be damned if it doesn't look like it's curled up taking a precious little slug nap
