Hypholoma dispersum	April 24 2025	Buket Alue Puteh, Aceh, Indonesia

Hi everyone, on this occasion I would like to show some sheets of photos of the results of observations that I have made in the forest around my house, as I have often said that if I have free time then walking into the forest is something I definitely do because there I can find various things, some of which are being able to enjoy fresh air, pamper the eyes with green leaves, a calm atmosphere and also some species in the forest, on this trip to the forest I found a species of mushroom that is popular with its scientific name "Hypholoma dispersum".

I found these mushrooms growing in small groups on rotten organic material, even though their size was small, they had something that attracted my attention to observe, these mushrooms have a flat cap with a slight curve and are filled with a faded brown color, while the mushroom stems are slender with a bright white color which makes them stand out among the surrounding environment, apart from that on the stem of the mushroom there are a few small powders attached so it looks like fine hairs which add an elastic impression to the mushroom, as a nature observer species like this are something that cannot be ignored, I always believe that every species hidden in the forest is a miracle of the universe that has a significant role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem.

Although the size of this mushroom species is relatively small when compared to Lingzhi mushrooms or even bridal mushrooms, these mushrooms still play a role as decomposers of organic matter where they grow, even though they are small, they are also true decomposers which are very important for increasing soil nutrients from the activities they do naturally, these mushrooms grow in groups and gradually, I noticed that there were some mushrooms that had bloomed but there were some that had just appeared with a very small size and could not be captured by my phone camera.
