The woods was littered with large clumps of Upright Coral Fungus (Ramaria stricta) Alleyn-et-Cawood, Québec, Canada. I haven't seen so many mushrooms in a long time.
Cool fungus. I would personally decrease the highlights a bit and burn the background, maybe increase the saturation of the light yellows al little bit.
Greg Shchepanek beautiful fungus, background is good, good colour contrast but I'm unsure on the sharpness and detail and that includs DOF. All the edit tips mentioned by Baenki are on point and I would for sure use those on the image but i also believe you can get a better photo right out of a camera but before I say anything about that let me ask you 2 things:
What was your working distance to the fungus?, this distance would be the distance between the fungus and your sensor inside your camera body, not the end of your lens as many people incorrectly assume ( measured from the focal plane mark on the camera body )
Did you intend a shallow DOF for this photo or was it simply a matter of low light not allowing to increase fstop? I see you were at a high ISO and shutter speed was as low as you can for handheld

I think so Chavezshutter because I know this from my own experiences. There often low light in the forest and Greg Shchepanek doens't stack his pictures. And I think he uses no tripod at all don't you? So either you should use a tripod or maybe you can try to use focus stacking.
