Happy Friday and greetings to all members of the FungiFriday community. This is my contribution to the #FungiFriday challenge hosted by @ewkaw.
Today I want to share three types of mushrooms I found during my mushroom hunt in nature over the past few days. These three types of mushrooms each have their own unique and beautiful characteristics, and there are differences between them.
Daedaleopsis confragosa It's a type of hard-textured fungus that I found growing on dead wood, but the wood was still hard enough to support it.
Remarkably, however, this fungus can root itself deep into this hardwood. It has a lobed shape and is white or a mix of cream, brown, and yellowish, with a hint of moss.
This is my mainstay in this discovery. We'll call it a ball mushroom, and I found it among the grass in a meadow that had been wetted by rain for a few days.
This mushroom appears to grow on animal droppings. It has a foam-like texture, is soft, and tears easily. The inside is also the same as the outside.
The last mushroom is a bright, orange, and light-colored mushroom. It has a well-defined stem and cap, with gills forming inside the cap.
I found it growing on the ground near decomposing wood, but this type of mushroom also grows on wood, even on relatively hardwood.
Those are the three types of mushrooms that are part of my contribution to this week's challenge. Three different mushroom species, each with their own unique qualities.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you all have a great day. See you next Friday.
