Orange fan fungi (Anthracophyllum archeri), Royal National Park, New South Wales, Australia.

I live in northern NSW, Australia. I explore the Australian bush and generally photograph anything and everything that interests me, but nmost pareticualrly macro fungi photography is what I am passionate about and best known for. My images of mushrooms have featured in leading science and nature magazines across the globe, and my time-lapses of fungi growing are in many documentaries including Planet earth 2, Fantastic Fungi, Hostile Planet, Our Planet and The Kingdom; how fungi made the earth. I feel privileged that that the people we collaborate with at the Kunming Institute of Botany in China, even named a mushroom named after me – Panaeolus axfordii. I have been invited to document the fungi in Nepal, India, China, Myanmar, Thailand, Mexico and Chile, and of course it is a constant obsession in the fungi hotspots of Tasmania, the NSW north coast and southern Queensland. p.s. all photos are for sale even if they are not listed as such, or aren't high enough resolution here. Please contact me if you would like permision to use a photo, or if you would like me to check if I have other photos that may suit your requirements. You can contact me at the email address at the top of this page. Steve Axford - 2022.
