another photo of two of the same fungi growing directly adjacent to each other through a more intact portion of bark; at least one more insect damage hole is visible on one of them, and green moss can be seen growing in the deep cracks of the bark; the lighting here is softer and flatter than the previous photos

macro photo of two more of the same fungi, these ones growing on the top of the log; the one on the left is larger and has two round holes in it, where it seems some tiny creature has been snacking; the one on the right is smaller, and it appears its outer skin is just starting to stretch and crack at the top

macro photo of three light brown, nearly perfectly round puffball fungi growing on the side of a dead log; only the center one is in focus, and we can see its thin light brown skin cracking apart slightly, revealing the pure white flesh underneath; it's also dotted all over with tiny, dark brown speckles that protrude slightly, giving it a bit of a rough texture; the scene is lit by bright sunlight from the left, casting sharp shadows onto the log from which the fungi grow

A close-up picture of a dragon fly seen from behind perched on a dead branch. The eyes are brick red, with yellow and black markings behind the,. The thorax is greenish-brown, with bright red patches at the base of the four wings. The abdomen has some pruinose blue patches near the top and then a series of segments in green-brown, red, yellow, and black. The wings are clear, with brown stigmata near the tips, and there are hints of the yellow stripes on the legs which separate this dragonfly from the closey-related ruddy darter.

Overall winner: Fractal Forest Inside-out view of a cauliflower soft coral. Named for its characteristic appearance that resembles a cauliflower, with numerous small, rounded, bump-like polyps that give it a puffy texture. Photograph: Ross Gudgeon ‘Giving us a unique perspective on coral. There’s nothing fake here, but still we ponder, is this nature or a painting?’ An exhibition is on now at the South Australian Museum
