Interesting subject. I would prefer enough dof to have the mushrooms sharp throughout. The dark bg sets them off nicely

Chris, those are interesting mushrooms, and I like that you took the picture at night. A little more DOF would be good, and the two mushrooms in the bottom-right corner distract from what otherwise is a really nice picture.

Chris:

The clump of mushrooms in the looks great but the wish for more DOF to see the ones in the front as well. You could probably cropped the group along the left margin out without much effect to the composition. Nice to see a thin envelop of water around some of the mushrooms.
