It is hard to think about anything else but this Sunday's elections. These are crucial days for my country. Millions of Venezuelans have mixed emotions. Nervousness, anxiety but above all a lot of hope for a longed-for change of course.
Although it is difficult to think about anything else now, I thought it would be good to relax a little by writing. So I remembered that last week, I had taken several photos in the park for #FungiFriday and hadn't posted them yet.
I went to the park that day after a couple of weeks without going for a walk for various reasons that are beside the point. And the rains of the past few weeks had done their thing, everything was so green.
As soon as I started the walk, I saw that there was a lot of fungi at the foot of one of the Acacias in the park. And of course, I went to take some pictures.
Google Lens told me that they are one of the varieties of Ganoderma.
They grow on tree trunks and have several species. According to Wikipedia about 80 different species and many of these are from tropical climates.
Curiously, only two of the many trees in Vizcaya Park had mushrooms that day.
And both had several of these fungi at the foot.
This was the largest of all I saw that day.
I would say it was about 20 cm in diameter.
I wonder if anyone knows if these mushrooms are edible or if they are toxic.
This is my contribution to this week's #FungiFriday by 
I say goodbye for now. Have a wonderful weekend and for the Venezuelans who read me, if you can vote do not miss this opportunity đđ»đȘ.
Thank you for reading.

Es difĂcil pensar en otra cosa que no sean las elecciones de este domingo. Son dĂas cruciales para mi paĂs. Millones de venezolanos tenemos emociones encontradas. Nerviosismo, ansiedad pero sobre todo mucha esperanza de un anhelado cambio de rumbo.
Y aunque en estos momentos es difĂcil pensar en otra cosa, pensĂ© que serĂa bueno relajarme un poco escribiendo. AsĂ que recordĂ© que la semana pasada habĂa tomado varias fotos en el parque para el #FungiFriday y aĂșn no las habĂa publicado.
Ese dĂa fui al parque despuĂ©s de un par de semanas sin salir a caminar por diversos motivos que no vienen al caso. Y las lluvias de las Ășltimas semanas habĂan hecho lo suyo. Todo estaba muy verde.
Nada mĂĄs empezar la caminata, vi que al pie de una de las Acacias del parque, habĂa un montĂłn de hongos. Y claro, me acerquĂ© a hacer unas fotos.
Google Lens me dijo que son una de las variedades de Ganoderma.
Crecen en los troncos de los ĂĄrboles y tienen varias especies. SegĂșn wikipedia unas 80 especies diferentes y muchas de estas de climas tropicales.
Curiosamente, sĂłlo dos de los muchos ĂĄrboles del Parque Vizcaya tenĂan setas ese dĂa.
Y ambos tenĂan varios de estos hongos.
Este fue el mĂĄs grande de todos los que vi ese dĂa.
Yo dirĂa que tenĂa unos 20 cm de diĂĄmetro.
Me pregunto si alguien sabe si son comestibles o si son tĂłxicos.
Este es mi post para el #FungiFriday de esta semana iniciado por
Me despido por ahora. Que tengan un estupendo fin de semana y para los venezolanos que me leen, si pueden votar no pierdan esta gran oportunidad đđ»đȘ.
