Mushroom bouquet glowing on log

Tags
A cluster of forest mushrooms forms a luminous bouquet rising from a damp log in a nocturnal grove, calm and contemplative. Caps are velvet-satin with faint striations, stems waxy and dewy, moss matte and spongy, with tiny water droplets clinging near the gills. Depth layering is a blurred leaf in the foreground, the mushroom cluster on the midplane, and a uniform dark understory behind; focus seats on the central cap ring; medium DOF keeps the bouquet readable while softly bathing peripheral fronds. Light is self-emissive cobalt and emerald from gill edges with a gentle cyan subsurface through stems; grading is cool-green with deep neutral blacks and restrained bloom for glow containment. Environment holds a short segment of bark, a few fern tips, three floating spores, and a thin fog ribbon to imply humidity. Camera is low eye-level macro with a normal-to-short-tele FOV, centered pyramid composition, 16:9 crop with slight top breathing room. Style is photomacro fused with CGI subsurface scattering and tilt-shift microcontrast. Reserve the top ~12% and both bottom corners as protected negative space consisting of soft, low-detail, background-matched areas; confine all luminous and detailed activity to the central field only.
