hello fellow mushroom hunters
And finally, you shine again after a few months in which our lives felt very tense due to the long drought hitting our area. This is an expression of some mushroom species I have found recently; they are so cheerful, and this is who we truly are. The mushroom species I found are smiling, their aura is becoming lively, and they look very thriving. I am very proud to see them reemerge on the surface of the earth. Almost every corner of the wood branches that initially looked dry now, after successive days of rain, has caused one by one of a group of mushrooms to start appearing, and in the following days, I can once again see little fairies beginning to show up.
I was so surprised that one of the mushroom species that had not been seen for a long time appeared before me, growing on a piece of wood that had rotted from constant rain. Finally, a pair of tiny Coprinellus micaceus mushrooms, commonly known as glistening inkcaps, emerged. These mushrooms do not linger to enjoy the beauty of nature; just a few hours after they appear and bloom, they fade again. I didn’t want to see them spread their caps; in fact, I think in the few minutes they appear, they look even smaller and cuter. So I took a few pictures of them before they faded away. I felt as if I was having a lot of conversations with them. I was happy to see them shine again, even if only for a short while.
There are several variations of bracket fungi that I am familiar with, but this one is very different. One species, Postia ptychogaster, commonly known as one of the powderpuff bracket fungi species, has its own unique advantages. On its tough upper flesh, it has a kind of heat protector; for example, it has a coating that looks like a layer of flour sticking to it. But if we look closely, they have something like heat-resistant scales so that the flesh doesn’t dry out too easily. Although on the underside of the flesh, they almost have small pores for breathing. Honestly, I very rarely encounter bracket fungi shaped like this—slightly strange, but quite remarkable.
Let's talk about another species of mushroom. You can see for yourself a species of mushroom that has a fairly long stem and a very small cap. Who are they? Well, one species is Marasmius, commonly known as a type of Mycena mushroom. This mushroom has a fairly strong stem despite being small and long. They can survive quite well in the underbrush during the rainy season. I find it strange that the stem is almost 7 mm long; of course, it seems impossible that they could last long, yet they prove that they can and do. I am very impressed with them. They look very different from the others.
