Hello, I’m Helissa! In this English version of Retratos da Serra I translate my posts about my findings and discoveries of the fauna, flora and funga of the Serra Gaúcha (something like the Highlands of the South of Brazil), where my husband and I have been living since 2022.
I also sell my photos on sites like Shutterstock, Adobe Stock and Alamy, and share them on Instagram, at @helissag and at the one dedicated solely to fungi @funga.da.serra. I’m also a iNaturalist enthusiast, posting often there – this is my profile.
⚠ Regarding fungi, always seek information, guides, and confirmation from experts before deciding to consume any wild mushroom. Never rely solely on online photo comparisons.
