Thanks! I didn't do anything crazy - just put a Ulanzi vl49rgb LED light a couple inches away. I recommend that everyone carries these - they are cheap, charge with usb-c and will dramatically elevate even a cell phone photo.

Yea a lot of tiny Mycena have translucent stems.
Yea I chould say OM-System OM-1 to differentiate it from the film camera, but I like the sound of Olympus better. Grant is correct though, focus stacking with film is impossible. The smaller something is, the more important it is to focus stack it. For very tiny subjects its almost required.
I added ALT text to my most recent post - not sure it really helps that much with photography though. The caption says what it is, so the ALT text would just repeat that.
I think iNaturalist is the best app to identify things - it is trained on hundreds of millions of observations, takes into account location, creates permanent biodiversity records and is free.
This Costa Rica trip starts in 64 days! We will be exploring the biodiversity of high elevation páramo & medium elevation cloud forest habitats.

OM System digital - film can't be focus stacked. I like the sound of Olympus better than OM System though.
I brought a 50 watt ultraviolet light (395 nanometers) to Costa Rica and it attracted a lot of cool stuff to the projector screen I am using as a moth sheet.
I teach photography classes sometimes, and also have an online mushroom photography course. The online class costs $100 and you can ask me as many questions as you want forever. Or you can just ask me questions for free, I am happy to help people with photography.
