EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tropical mushrooms" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the enchanting world of fungi thriving in the heart of Yasuni National Park, located within Ecuador's Amazon rainforest. The image showcases a close-up view of a delicate fungus flourishing on a decaying log amidst the lush forest floor. With its slender and fragile appearance, this botanical marvel stands as a testament to the incredible diversity found in nature. The white fruiting body of this tropical mushroom contrasts beautifully against the rotting wood, creating an intriguing visual spectacle. Its presence serves as a reminder that even in decay, life finds ways to flourish and contribute to vital ecological processes. This photograph captures not only the intricate structures and bodies of these fascinating organisms but also highlights their crucial role in maintaining balance within their ecosystem. Ecuador's rich biodiversity is renowned worldwide, particularly within its Amazonian region. As part of South America's vast rainforest expanse, Yasuni National Park boasts an abundance of wildlife and plant species unique to this corner of Latin America. This image by Dr Morley Read from Science Photo Library celebrates both the biological wonders found in Ecuadorian forests and our ongoing fascination with mycology—the study of fungi.
