Fungi Friday:three species of mushrooms that are truly fascinating

Hello mushroom hunting friendsIt feels great to be able to share again some beautiful mushroom species in this amazing #fungifriday community. Recently, we have entered the summer season in our region, and it has been almost three months since we last saw any rain. The soil is starting to dry out, and of course, some mushroom species are very difficult to breed. A few days ago, I managed to hunt for some mushroom species in my usual hunting spots, but I did not find any types of mushrooms at all in those places. I noticed that the branches are already dry, and there is no place for them to breed at all. I did not find them at all, but I have to be patient. I really miss the rain; who knows when it will come, as there are still no signs.

Fortunately, in my phone gallery, I still have some species of mushrooms from a hunt a few months ago. Among these three species, one of them is a type of slime mold, which is likely to belong to the genus Trichia or Physarum. This species of slime mold grows on damp and shaded trees. Uniquely, this species of slime mold can move like an amoeba at certain stages before forming a spore-producing structure that looks like small grains. They amaze me with their appearance, as they form numerous small grains, creating something very unique and rare.

The species of mushroom known as gerigit may be classified as one of the species that are very resilient during the summer season; they can survive on a single tree, although eventually, if the summer lasts too long, this species of gerigit mushroom will also wither and decline. What fascinates me about this species of gerigit mushroom is that on its wide wings, they have soft and thick hairs that allow them to cope with sunlight. Not only that, this species of gerigit mushroom also has quite a number of gills; behind its beautiful wings, I see several gill openings that are quite charming in their beauty.

In the third part, of course, I couldn't miss adding another type of tough mushroom, the turkey tail mushroom (trametes versicolor). This mushroom is classified as one of the robust species. I believe that if the summer continues in my area, this species will still survive. As far as I know, the turkey tail mushroom grows closely together, but with the ongoing summer, some of their wings have broken and become brittle, so I no longer see the special qualities of this species. Nevertheless, at a glance, the turkey tail mushroom still looks beautiful and special in my eyes.

This is my contribution today for the #fungifriday community created and organized by @ewkaw.

Thank you very much to all my friends who have taken a little time to read my post, I hope it can be beneficial for all of us.
