Dusk Parasol

This piece presents an elegant parasol mushroom, Macrolepiota procera, standing tall against a backdrop abstracted in muted greens and a striking burnt orange. The mushroom’s slender stem and broad, textured cap catch the fading glow of sunset, emphasising its delicate yet commanding presence. The lower organic form rooted in lichen-speckled rock echoes Cheddar Gorge’s unique limestone terrain where such fungi thrive, subtly weaving the natural heritage of this locale into the composition.
