Fungifriday 07/02/2025 " white mushrooms in cemeteries "

Hello, Good afternoon friends of the #fungifriday community wherever you are. Of course, also have a good rest, have a good activity and have a good weekend, whatever you are doing now.

Yes, as usual today, of course we are back together again making a post about mushroom plants this Friday. In this moment or on this occasion I am very happy to still be able to participate in the #fungifriday community which is organized by @ewkaw as the host or provider of this very interesting place.

This is my contribution to the #FungiFriday challenge by @ewkaw .

This morning, I walked along the path to the village cemetery. One of the residents died, and as a neighbor, I felt the need to pay my last respects. After the funeral procession was finished, I decided to take a short walk around the grave area. For some reason, there is a certain sense of peace among the old trees and tombstones that are neatly lined up. My gaze was attracted to a tree trunk lying on the ground, starting to rot with age.

Approaching the stem, I saw something interesting—a cluster of small mushrooms growing on its crumbly surface. The color of the mushroom contrasts with the brownish wood, making it look like a hidden gem. The shape is unique, with a curved white hood.

Then I approached the mushroom plant and confirmed it, then took my cell phone out of my pocket, a sense of awe made me want to immortalize its simple beauty. Leaning in close, I adjusted the camera's focus, making sure every detail of the mushroom was captured clearly, and took several photos.

It turns out that this time I discovered the Schizophyllum commune fungus is a species of fungus in the Schizophyllum genus. This mushroom resembles a tight coral wave or a loose Chinese fan. This mushroom is known as the split gill mushroom because of the unique property of the gills being divided lengthwise on the underside of the mushroom cap. This fungus is found all over the world.

Domain: Eukaryota
Kingdom: Fungi
Division: Basidiomycota

Genus: Schizophyllum
Species: S. commune

And of course below I will show several other photos that I have prepared:

On the way home, I reflected on how life and death are so connected. The rotting wood that seemed to represent death actually gave life to the small mushrooms. In the midst of sadness, nature always has its own way of reminding us of the never-ending cycle of life.

Yes friends, that's what I can share in writing my blog today. I really hope for support from friends along with criticism and suggestions so that this post is more perfect and useful for all of us.

Thank you for visiting this post, see you in the next post. Regards.
