Fungi friday:mushroom hunting in the forest is hampered by rain

A blessed day for all of us today is a day that is awaited by mushroom hunters all over the world as well as me who will show the results of my hunt this morning

Early in the morning I had started going in and out of the forest just to look for mushrooms that grow in nature and my hunting area this time was the forest in Alue Jamok Village, Baktiya District, North Aceh which is in the territory of Indonesia

This time the hunt had to pass through a very bushy embankment road with long grass and other plants that covered the road plus a muddy, slippery and rocky road but because I used a specially processed motorbike I could pass all routes easily

When I arrived at the mushroom search location I immediately stopped and entered the forest then I found a white mushroom growing on a dead tree trunk and I immediately approached it

This mushroom has a hard texture, lives in clusters on dead tree trunks and this mushroom can survive for a long time even without rain, this type of mushroom can be eaten and I have also eaten it

After that I continued my search for mushrooms in this forest, but suddenly the clouds became cloudy and it started to rain lightly I had to immediately get out of the forest towards the embankment road on the edge of the rice field

The rain started to pour heavily I had to find a place to take shelter so as not to get wet I had to immediately return to the settlement when I got there I asked permission to take shelter at the house of a villager, he was very kind to allow me to take shelter on his porch

When the rain started to subside I continued my search for mushrooms in the forest close to the residents' houses so that I could take shelter again if there was further rain, here I was faced with fierce mosquitoes that kept biting and the humid and muddy atmosphere in this forest

I am very lucky here to be able to find many types of mushrooms that grow on rotten tree trunks and some also grow on coconut trunks here I started to be happy and smiled to myself because what I was looking for I found here

Let's see what types of mushrooms I found here, hopefully all my friends like it

I am very happy to be able to get these mushrooms and this is the first time I have found this mushroom species that looks like a unit from its shape, this is my satisfaction when I am in nature getting the results I am looking for and I will learn more and ask the experts about these mushrooms

Thus the results of my mushroom hunting on Friday and see you next Friday
