Venkatesh Kittur, Nature’s Porcelain (NATURE WILDERNESS 2025)

Hidden deep within the damp, shaded heart of the forest, I stumbled upon this delicate cluster of porcelain mushrooms. Their translucent gills caught the filtered light like tiny lanterns of the wilderness, standing quietly on a moss-draped log. In that moment, I felt nature speaking in its softest voice — raw, untouched, and profoundly alive. Capturing this image was a reminder that the most enchanting parts of the wild often exist just beyond the noise, waiting for those who slow down to see.
