6/12 of #top12 Glowing Mushrooms  Foto: Jens Hauser

I got inspired so I thought of selecting my Top 12 photos of 2017. Some of them I selected because I liked the photo and others the experience in taking them but for all of them it is a way to remember some of the places I have visited but mostly the people I have met. My sixth photo is a magic one from the forest outside the village of Batu Puteh village, Borneo, Malaysia. One night when I was out walking in the forest during the night my guide saw something really odd. He pointed at a log with some mushrooms on them and I couldn't understand what was interesting about them. They looked like any kind of fungi growing on a log. He said that we had to turn off all of the light and when we did the magic began. They started to glow in a green mysterious light nothing I have ever seen before. I set up my tripod with a macro lens and started to take photographs of. It was really hard to capture the weak intense luminous glow coming from the mushroom.
