Hi Hive Lovers
We meet again on Friday, back again with the discovery of various mushrooms and this is my contribution to #FungiFriday by @ewkaw.
Mushrooms, those who never lose to circumstances. As long as things have decomposed, they will be there. They will grow and adapt well to display their beauty. They are beautiful even in the trash though.
I don't know them at all. But their appearance has caught my attention. It's still raining here in September - which doesn't really deserve to be called the rainy season - it hasn't rained at all this week. I also didn't hunt them at all. They are present in front of me, in fact, I am present in front of them.
First, I found this fungus on the cast board used to make a building foundation. On the board, there is still a layer of cement in some parts. You can clearly see in the photos how they grow on damp boards that are still covered in hardened cement. They actually grow undisturbed by the cement content that sticks to the board.
They can adapt well and show off their beauty. The circular wedges showed them like pretty little fans.
At first, I found a single mushroom, I thought it grew singly. It turned out that his brothers also grew up there and lived in groups.
This is what they look like in clusters, the brown ones look like they've started to wilt, I'm sure they were the first to appear there.
Second, I found the following mushrooms when I visited a peanut farm owned by the farmer, he is a good friend of mine. He invited me to his garden to see the mushrooms. Actually, he had informed the presence of the mushrooms two days ago. But, only today do I have time to come there.
They unabashedly grow on a single dry log stuck among the lush peanut plants. They just stick together and line up neatly and orderly from top to bottom. It seemed they had agreed to line up there.
Their brown color reminds me of the mochaccino coffee that another friend of mine often orders. He has long been in love with the color brown. The color of the mushroom is exactly the color of the coffee variant.
I apologize to all of you. One of the mushrooms slipped off the wood, apparently, they weren't sticking too tightly there. I accidentally touched one of them too hard when I was about to take a photo from the bottom which turned out to be a different color from the top. At the bottom, it is lighter in color closer to white.
As it was released, I had the opportunity to hold it and feel the moist texture of the mushroom's surface. They have a slightly unpleasant smell to the touch. I think they are toxic and can be dangerous, that's just my assumption and I immediately wash my hands because of it.
Finally, you can estimate their size by comparing them to the size of my fingers. Of course, there are other mushrooms that are bigger than this, right?
We can take a lesson from their life. We as humans should be able to adapt wherever we are, in any environment. But, we must have our own character and beauty, like the mushrooms I discovered today.
