Yes.

Don't use so many different-colored objects.

Detail with the greenish objects more and the mushrooms/brown things less. While they look okay if there are only a few of them scattered about, they look too cluttered in numbers. By contrast, using the greenish things is kind of like "shading" is in graphics editing. While not a perfect analogy, you don't "shade" with different completely different colors in graphics editing. Likewise, you shouldn't shade the green, grassy ground with alot of pale things or alot of brown things. The difference is that you can use those pale and/or brown things occasionally to add some accent, which would probably screw up a picture if you were making art.

Anyway, just use more greenish stuff and less non-greenish stuff.
