These kind of photos always seem popular. At least in my part of the world.
I asked some people why that is and the answer was: it's something magical and "fairy taley" about them. So here's my fairy tale.

Delightful! Great find.
I do however, think the photo might benefit from a cropping out the top of the stump to make it look more like a growing tree instead of a stump. just sayin'

I have a few shots like that too but the light is better here and the mushrooms just seem more magical here as well. It's about the feeling, you know. :-)

I have no criticism of your image. It is lovely. I do have a question... Are those brick cap mushrooms (Hypholoma sublateritium)?

Thank you! I would say it's all about timing with the light. I did a light touch up to warm up the image but I was at the right place at the right time for this one.

I do think mushrooms may have a fairy tale aspect that makes them interesting but I have a different theory regarding why people “like” them. I noticed 2 things a rose and the moon are probably the things most photographed. They are beautiful and awe inspiring. Yet they get the least “likes”. I believe this is the case because they have been photographed so much it exhausts our collective response. We still appreciate beauty but also the unusual. In everyday life we pass over fungi with no appreciation if not for outright disdain. A good, not necessarily perfect mushroom picture is unusually pleasing. I have taken photos of some ugly fungi which have not elicited a favorable response.
