Whoooaah, that second shot is swirly. Both good but No. 2 for me, unusual and interesting.

no. 2 is great

The first one would have benefitted from getting closer I think, the mushrooms seem a bit overpowered by the amount of surrounding.

The second one is fantastic. If you could have squeezed a bit more depth of field into the foreground (in front of the mushrooms) as that out-of-focus section of trunk is just a tiny bit distracting, you'd be verging on perfection.

did you use PP to get the blurring on pic 2? it's very clever

 

[Marvin d martian]

No, its not any PP, just playing with DOF planes with large format.
Cheers,
Mart
