Mushrooms at Treasure Park

I’m learning that the most shallow Depth of Field (DOF) does not always produce the best picture.  I can see that it will take a lot of practice and experience to be able to get just the right DOF.  In both pictures below I wished I would have had a little deeper DOF so that the mushrooms in the rear of the clusters would have also been sharp.  From what I’ve been learning, it would also help me out a lot if I had a good tripod for more sharpness and to also force me to slow down and really think through each shot so that I get the exposure and composition right.
