GrassShrooms_(Dark/Low Key/Night photography - Psilocybe semilanceata in grass)

Adds closeup of long grass and Psilocybe semilanceata (shrooms) to generated image. Does low-key dark lighting images well, but can also be used for lighter images.

tag: dark-grasshrooms,

other tags of interest: dark, backlit, low key, sidelight, silhouette, depth of field, blurry foreground (Some of the shroomiest images in dataset were also tagged with depth of field and/or blurry foreground and blurry, so there's that to keep in mind)

So far has worked on tested SDXL checkpoints well, with adjustments to strength ranging from 0.85 (for Eldritch Photography v1.0 and Painter's Checkpoint) to 1.5 (🥂🎆SDXL FaeTastic🎆🥂 and SDXL Yamer's Realistic 5 👁‍🗨🖼️📷) higher strength might make subject cartoonish in some cases, or just go away completely, so start with 1.0 and adjust to taste. (Halve the values for pony_1 version. 0.5-0.75 or there about) Or go completely wild and see what happens! You do you!

Have a look at showcase images for some idea what it does. I tried to keep them as vanilla as possible, to showcase both good and bad aspects of this LoRA. It will probably ad some imperfections to generations.

Loaded a bunch of (46) photos of Psilocybe semilanceata in grass taken by me a few years ago at at night with phone camera, a couple of flashlights and some light textile bag as softbox. Read some guides since last time and tagged images more sensibly. Dataset available to download.

Nobody actually reads the description this far, right? The images used to train this were taken by me in autumn 2018. Memory might is a bit hazy from then but "it was a dark and stormy night" (not really, it was actually quite mild and calm weather, but dark at least). I was tweaking quite hard back then, and had just partaken in some, when I had the bright idea to go check a certain mushroom spot in the late autumn evening. I think I had a head torch or a flashlight, possibly both, and a quite strong bicycle light with me, plus a somewhat yellowed white cotton shopping bag in my backpack. Ended up spending hours documenting the mushrooms with my phone camera before picking them for later consumption. In fact, I did not stop until my lights ran out of battery and had to cycle home in darkness, occasionally using my phone flashlight to warn oncoming traffic. Fun times.
