This photo of fancy Fly agaric mushroom was my winning macro, published exclusively for Steemit blockchain in this post..
My post was the only entry in the 'Plants' category, among four other splendid insects posts. Check the macro works by @david-city, @master-animal, @village-hery, @ummamah -- stunning pieces of photo-art. Happily, mushrooms gave me the chance to win the prize again.

They represent all of life cycle stages of this mushroom. And I didnt have to go to the Russian forest to find them to shoot: vice versa, the mushrooms itself came to me - I found them right next to our doors. Nice, isnt it?
When the fly agaric first emerges from the ground, it looks like a pimpled white egg; it breaks through its 'shell' and rushes out - the remains / pieces of that shell egg then adorn the bright orange cap of the mushroom with white dots, which is a very characteristic feature.
Когда мухомор только появляется из земли, он выглядит как пупырчатое белое яйцо; оно прорывает оболочку и устремляется наружу - остатки / кусочки того яйца-оболочки украшают потом ярко-оранжевую шляпку аманиты белыми точками, что является характерным признаком.
In my garden, mushrooms grew of about the same age, and in the territory of my neighbors I found more mature versions of the fly agaric - I did not have to wait for the mushroom to grow old. I could photograph what they looked like - both a ground mushroom and an old mushroom at the same time.
В моем саду росли грибы примерно одного возраста, а на территории соседей я нашел более зрелые издания мухомора -- мне не пришлось ждать, пока гриб состарится. Я мог сфотографировать как выглядят -- одновременно и молодой, и старый гриб.
I usually use dedicated Sigma 150mm for macro, it gives 1: 1 magnification and good bokeh. But this time I decided to take another lens - a universal daily 50mm (it also has excellent bokeh), and with its help I got interesting eye-pleasing results.
Обычно я использую для макро специальный объектив Sigma 150mm, он дает 1:1 масштаб увеличения и хорошее боке. Но на этот раз я решил взять другой объектив - универсальный ежедневный 50мм (у него тоже отличное бокэ), и с его помощью я получил интересные, приятные, радующие глаза результаты.
Не у всех грибы растут у дверей. И не все умеют их так красиво фотографировать. Поздравляю!
