This Week's Mushroom-Seeking Adventure With Satisfying Results//A Fun Experience

Hello, #fungifriday friends, welcome back to this beloved community. On this occasion, I will share some images of mushrooms I have encountered over the past few days.

My friends...
Fungi are organisms belonging to the fungi kingdom that lack chlorophyll and whose bodies are composed of threads, usually called hyphae. Fungi reproduce in various ways, one of which is vegetative. Fungi also absorb organic matter from the environment through hyphae to obtain their nutrients.

Since today is Friday, I will be participating in the #fungifriday challenge. A few days ago, I discovered three different types of mushrooms, which prompted me to create a blog to share with this beloved community, and since I haven't blogged in a while, please continue to follow my blog to see some images of mushrooms I have encountered, along with brief explanations from me.

It's been raining in my area for the past few days, and I think finding mushrooms is a bit easier now than it was a few weeks ago. My main spot for mushrooms this time is along the small swamps within the plantation, where mushrooms are usually easy to find in this area due to the moist soil.

My friends...
One way mushrooms live is through mutualistic symbiosis, where they absorb nutrients from other organisms and produce certain substances that benefit their symbionts.

Fungi also live in a variety of environments and associate with many organisms. Although most live on land, some fungi also live in water, and these are usually parasitic.

Above are some pictures I took when I first explored the swamp area within the plantation. There you can see the humid atmosphere beside the swamp and the calm, clear water surrounding this small area.

It didn't take long for me to find the first mushroom in this Friday's mushroom hunting challenge and these are some of the pictures I took when I first found the mushroom growing on small twigs that were starting to rot.

My friend...
Then I began to observe the mushroom. This small orange mushroom has an umbrella-shaped cap about 0.5 to 2 cm wide and a hard, shiny stem that is pale on top and brown on the underside.

These are some pictures I took while observing the mushroom closely. According to the information I found, this mushroom is found in hardwood forests and is distributed throughout northern Europe and Asia, including my country, Indonesia.

Then after a few minutes, I finally found the next mushroom, which as I said above, there are also mushrooms that live in mutualistic symbiosis, where mushrooms that live in symbiosis, besides absorbing food from other organisms, also produce certain substances that are beneficial for their symbionts, and usually mushrooms that live like this can be found and found living on the roots of legume plants, like the one I found this time, which lives next to the roots of wild plants.

and the last mushroom that caught my attention was a mushroom growing on a palm tree that was starting to rot.

The mushrooms I encountered this time grew on decaying organic matter, growing on decaying oil palm plants. As you know, mushrooms play a vital role in the ecosystem by decomposing organic matter and returning nutrients to the soil.

My friends...
Unlike the mushrooms I encountered above, these mushrooms are edible, and I personally often consume them because their flavor is quite pleasant to the palate of the people in my area.

Okay, friends, those are some pictures of the mushrooms I encountered in this Friday challenge. I hope you all enjoyed and enjoyed what I shared. Thank you very much to all of you who have taken the time to view and read my blog to the end.
Your support, comments, and input are invaluable to me in creating a better blog in the future.
Greetings everyone.
See you in my next blog.
