The idea of displaying the fungi in bottles came about as I wanted to develop an alternative to on bark. I chose the smallest bottles I could as it not only did it challenge me with the scale of which I needed to work but also for an inexpensive sample of my work which can be posted at a reasonable price too.
They are terribly hard to photograph due to their size and also because the bottle distorts the shape of the fungi and whereas the eye can recognise this when looking at the bottle the photograph can't. I'm going to try filming them instead and see if that helps.
