I wonder if they picked this one and then shone a bright light through the top to achieve this effect. I can never get a cool shot like this of undisturbed mushies. Looks like a super long stipe, though.

Would a longer exposure do the same without shining a bright light through it?

Doing a super long exposure would result in a lot of those darker areas being brighter as well

To achieve this kind of effect you would need an intense light source above it due to the thickness of most mushroom tips

Doing a super long exposure can result in some really cool looking shots with plants and fungi, but this one I'd confidently say isn't a long exposure
