Hexagonia tenuis

This afternoon, while walking, I suddenly caught sight of a strange and beautiful thing. A colorful mushroom was growing on old wood. It looked like small umbrella, but it was completely different in color. A wonderful design was created combining brown, dark reddish, and light golden spots. This work nature is truly mind-blowing.

it looked like someone had scratched wood with a paintbrush. When I got closer, I saw that it was actually a type fungus mushroom. Their life cycle is very surprising. They usually grow on old, wet rotten wood. Unlike soil plants, they do not survive in sunlight, but collect food from inside the wood. In this way, the wood gradually decays and mixes with the soil. The role this mushroom in nature recycling process is very big.

This type mushroom is not only beautiful, but also important for research. In many cases, it has been seen that these fungi may also have medicinal properties. However, not all mushrooms are safe eat. Therefore, you should never collect eat mushrooms without knowing them.

What attracted me the most was its color scheme. Each layer of nature seems to tell a different story. Even though it grows on wood, it has given birth to a unique beauty. This scene this afternoon reminded me of how much unknown beauty is hidden within nature. If we take a little time to look around every day, maybe we will find many such strange and beautiful things.
