FungiFriday : Enjoying biodiversity

Seeing and enjoying the natural beauty hidden and protected behind tropical forests is indeed very pleasant, mushrooms are one of the plants that can grow at a certain time and will die quickly. Indonesia is known for its abundant natural wealth, both land and sea.

As a country that has a tropical climate, various types of mushrooms will grow on this land, when the rainy season arrives mushrooms will be easy to find here.

And my mushroom hunting journey continues even though it hasn't rained lately. This time I tried to explore oil palm plantations and small shady forests.

To find mushrooms in hot weather is a bit difficult, sometimes many mushrooms are dead and dry when we find them.

Although it is difficult to find mushrooms, but in the end I found several types of mushrooms that still look fresh and survive the hot weather.

The first is a type of small brown mushroom that grows together in a horizontal format, these mushrooms are neatly arranged. I did not find the scientific name of this mushroom.

And the second is a white mushroom with a standard size or fungus Marasmius wynneae that grows on rotting tree trunks. On this mushroom I want to make it a little more interesting and not boring.

When I found this mushroom I saw a small snail on the leaves, then took this small snail and put it on the mushroom umbrella to make it look more creative and interesting to look at.

Then the third is the fungus Coprinopsis ephemeroides, this fungus grows on rotting leaves, its size is small with long stems. While the umbrella is black like metal.

And the last one is the fan mushroom Neofavolus alveolaris with its characteristic like a fan, this mushroom has a white color when it is still young and a cream color when it dries,
