THE FOREST IS GOOD VEGETATION FOR SOME MUSHROOM

Hello everyone and happy Friday for all of you...

This my entry to #FungiFriday challenge by @ewkaw in Fungi Friday Community

Hello Friday people...
This time we are all here to make posts in the Fungi Friday community as usually. As you know, every Friday we will make posts about Mushrooms and such in this community, and today I also want to show you two types of mushrooms that I got in the same place and they all have their own uniqueness. Today i'm hoing to find some Mushrooms in the forest and of course the forest is a damp place where lots of dead plants pile up there and places like this are the most growing environment for mushrooms as natural decomposers there.

When entering the forest, I found this Mushroom in the dead banana trees and buried by banana leaves. This type of Mushroom is a Mushroom with the scientific name Pluteus Atricapillus or known as Deer Mushroom which is the largest type of mushroom from the Pluteus family.

This is because this mushroom does have a large size and is even the size of a human palm. Even though it is large, this mushroom was very soft and is easily crushed when touched. The surface is so soft and the bottom has amazing pattern lines. Even though it looks big, the canopy of this mushroom is slightly thicker and more voluminous than normal mushrooms, and this makes this mushroom look sturdier, bigger, and easy to find even in the pile of rotten trees.

This mushroom has a single stem that is not too big, and not even comparable to its canopy which is very wide and large. However, because the canopy of this mushroom is hollow and not solid, therefore this mushroom can be supported even with a small stem. This mushroom has a light brown color on the upper surface of the canopy, usually it has a darker brown color in the center of the upper surface of the canopy. At the bottom to the stem, this mushroom has a white color and sometimes slightly yellowish.

Not far from there, I also found small Mushrooms scattered on rotten areca nut trees. I think these Mushrooms grow upside down, because their canopies and trunk curves seem to be upside down, I don't know if they grow like this or because they are exposed to sunlight.
However, the way they grow is very strange.

Everything grew upside down, and it seemed as if they were hanging from the edge of a rotten log. Usually we see threads or patterns like lines at the bottom of the canopy of a Mushroom, but in this Mushroom the threads or patterns are seen at the top and their stems seem to reverse the canopy. I think this Mushroom is from the Marasmiellus type which is a type of Mushroom that usually eats away at rotten hardwood trees.

This mushroom has a pure white color with a little yellowish, its surface is hollow and has a single stem. The canopy is not that big and they grow a lot on one side of their host. I don't know whether this Mushroom is poisonous or not, but it's best we don't need to consume it because usually Mushrooms like this can't be consumed and because they are usually decomposers of hard trees, I'm afraid they contain poison.

So, those are some types of Mushrooms that I got in the forest today. Hope you guys like it and see you on the next #FungiFriday post.
