How to use this prompt
Mushrooms are identified by their undersides, so the prompt asks for "convex caps and visible gills" — showing the gills is the diagnostic feature that makes them read as real foraged mushrooms rather than generic cartoon toadstools. Avoiding a stated count keeps the basket abundant without the model dropping items. The folding knife is the forager's tool and a quiet authenticity cue. Dappled light through trees gives the forest floor depth without harsh contrast. Keep the mood calm and autumnal with moss, ferns and fallen leaves. A 3:2 frame fits the basket and the forest floor around it.
Variations to try
- Single specimen — one mushroom with gills shown in detail
- Forager's hand — a hand placing a mushroom into the basket
