FungiFriday : Polyporus Mushroom or Lentinus Mushroom

Hello everyone, good afternoon..

on this very happy occasion I want to share some photos of mushrooms that I got this morning.

the weather today is very nice for me, not hot at all, cloudy but not raining. two days ago it rained very hard at my place. the wind was blowing hard.

This morning I found two types of mushrooms, the first is Polyporus Mushroom and Lentinus Mushroom. I captured this mushroom using my smartphone camera, the Xiaomi mi 8. Of course, to capture the very small mushroom, I added a Sony brand lens with a diameter of 25mm. So that the photo looks more mushroom character and nuanced bokeh

Well, I'll explain a little about the mushrooms I found this morning below.

The first mushroom was named "Polyporus Mushroom"

I found this mushroom in the community's garden around the hills of Alue Awe Village, precisely behind the IAIN Malikussaleh campus, here there are lots of people's gardens. Before I entered the garden, of course, I first asked permission from the owner of the garden. Not long after I looked for the mushroom I found it. I found the Polyporous fungus on trees that had been dead for a long time, the wood was very fragile. I took a few angles for this mushroom image. To get this mushroom, I connected it to the Google Lens application. I use the application to see the accuracy of the image so as not to be wrong in naming the mushroom. The shape of this mushroom is a little ridiculous to me, because the appearance of this mushroom has fine hairs that are slightly brownish in color.

The Italian botanist Pier Antonio Micheli introduced the genus in 1729 to include 14 species featuring fruiting bodies with a stipes placed in the center, and pores at the bottom of the cap. [1] Its generic name combines the Ancient Greek words ("many") and ("pore"). [2]. wikipedia

The Second Mushroom is "Lentinus"

The lentinus mushroom that I got was also very beautiful, I saw it like an umbrella used by Japanese people. This mushroom is very unique, really like the shape. This mushroom that I got also has fine hairs on its leaves. but the fine hairs do not grow to the stem of the mushroom, only grow on the leaves. To get a name that matches the image to be more accurate, I searched with the google lens application.

Lentinus is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus is widely distributed, with many species found in subtropical regions.[3].wikipedia

The genus name Lentinus is derived from the Latin lent, meaning "pliable", and inus, meaning "resembling".
