Russia, Altai Republic, Chulyshman valley Unusual stone mushrooms grew on the steep slope of the Akkurum tract, not far from the Chulcha and Chulyshman rivers confluence. They are made by erosion - large blocks, like an umbrella, protect the trunk of mushrooms, and loose clay around is washed out by rains. Sony A99, Sony 16-35/2.8 lens, iso50 16mm f/11 1/60s |
