The Magical World of Mushrooms in Mind-Bending Photography of Steve Axford

Steve Axford is a retired person who lives in the Northern Rivers area of NSW in Australia. He loves to explore the world through photography. The world for him is dominated by living things and the planet we live on. His photography is avenue into exploring this wonderful world. Steve Axford interests cover everything from micro fungi to volcanoes, though more of his time now is spent with the fungi than the volcanoes. From his photography portfolio, we choose magical world of mushrooms that are the natural recyclers of our forests. We often miss the diversity and beauty that mushrooms have to offer.
