There are still corners of the globe where danger, suspense and adventure lie in wait for the mushroom seeker!
In Canada ; a natural miracle is repeated each spring, when the morels emerge from the lands charred by forest fires.
But beware ; the growth is ephemeral, and the beauties never invite themselves twice on the same ground! We must therefore act quickly.
So let's follow the wetters, relentlessly picking, on the steep slopes of British Columbia where grizzly bears have made their home!
Let's discover the mysteries of this fungal phenomenon.
Let's start with an assertive, but careful step in pursuit of the fire morels.
Photographer and writer, Benoît PEYRE, lives by mushroom shoots.
Mycophile passionate since early childhood (mycophile: person who loves mushrooms); he tracks and sketches with curiosity the unusual universe of the small beings of the undergrowth.
Not satisfied with the level of quality of the photographs reproduced in the books by the main publishers; he therefore chose to self-publish his very beautiful works.
Each of his photographs reproduced in his books is treated with a selective varnish; which makes each of them a masterpiece.
We have never seen such a level of excellence in photographic rendering before; you have the impression that you have in your hands an album of very high quality photographic snapshots, and not a book.
So we don't hesitate to say that Benoît PEYRE's books are works of art in their own right.
“My name is Benoît PEYRE.
Married and father of 4 children, I live in a region blessed by the gods in terms of mushrooms: Corrèze.
Inveterate researcher, passionate since childhood by everything related to the fungal kingdom; I decided over nine years ago to stop my career as an insurance agent and devote myself full time to mushrooms.
Discover and help as many people as possible discover the immense wealth and infinite variety of the fungal kingdom; this is the mission that I have set for myself.
Through photography, poems or romantic writings; I decline the unusual and curious aspects of the little elves of our undergrowth but also remain pragmatic.
In addition to my liberal activity of mycophile (self-publisher, conference, photo exhibitions, etc.), I am also in charge of “mushrooms” mission at the Economic Chamber of Corrèze.
A generalist of the mushroom in a way!
Not everyone has the leisure (nor the inclination!) To get on all fours to look under the colorful little hats of our friends in the undergrowth.
Photography allows me to present mushrooms to you in a new light!
The shots are most often taken at ground level.
Patience and approach take place slowly; some mushrooms are tiny, hard to find.
In addition, very small animals are present on or under the fungi; redoubling discretion is the absolute rule to combine fungal and animal kingdom!
I particularly like to photograph transparent or diaphanous mushrooms. A wonder of Nature!
In short, photo mushroom hunting is not always easy!
Admittedly, they do not move too much (although some coprins!) But all the same: vigilance, vigilance!
At the start of the millennium, a world remains enigmatic for many of us.
There, just under our feet, within reach of our gaze, exists a surprisingly varied universe, sometimes mysterious, often majestic; that of mushrooms.
Unusual shapes, incredible places of growth, play of light and transparency; mushrooms do not only have taste qualities.
For your viewing pleasure, they can look like stars or lace.
Or be adorned with bright colors, weigh several kilos or be soft as velvet.
With a little patience, we can therefore unearth little wonders much more often than we imagine. "
