Genus Cookeina //one of the mushrooms I found on my mushroom foraging adventure this week

Good evening, my friends. On this occasion, I would like to share some images with all of you in this beloved community. It's been raining a lot in my area recently, so I think finding mushrooms is a little easier now than it was a few weeks ago.

At that time, some friends and I went to a forest not far from our settlement. Our goal was to find some mushrooms and then capture some images to share on this platform.
The final result was very satisfying: we managed to find several types of mushrooms, one of which is the mushroom I will share below. After researching, I discovered that the mushroom is called Cookeina.

Okay, my friends, keep following my blog this time to see some images, along with a short article from me.

As I mentioned above, it's been raining heavily in my area recently, and that afternoon, some friends and I went into the forest to look for mushrooms. The reason we went there was because it had been raining from morning until noon.

I took some pictures.
Here are some of the pictures; hopefully, they illustrate the conditions of our primary mushroom-hunting spot. There are some branches and bushes, and I believe mushrooms are very easy to find here, especially during the rainy season. This is because mushrooms grow in damp areas with sufficient water content.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for my friend and I to find mushrooms growing in the area, of which here are some pictures.
As in the picture, the white ones are small mushrooms growing on branches that are starting to rot, but the mushrooms that caught my attention were not the mushrooms themselves, but the ones that looked faded red.

I tried to pick the mushroom and took some close-up photos.

This is a close-up of the mushroom after I picked it, nestled among the bushes. It's also growing on rotting branches.

As a child, I often found this mushroom, often looking for it as bait when we went fishing with friends.

However, these days, it's a little harder to find this mushroom, perhaps because I don't go into the forest as often as I did when I was a child, when I loved playing in the woods with my friends.

These mushrooms range in shape from cup to funnel, and I personally find them in various colors, from yellow to faded red.

I estimate they measure around 2 to 7 cm.

Okay, friends, those are some pictures and a short post from me on this blog. I hope you all enjoyed and enjoyed what I shared. Thank you very much to all of you who took the time to stop by and read my blog until the end. Please leave your comments, support, or input, which means a lot to me in creating a better blog in the future.

That's all for now.
Greetings, everyone.
See you on my next blog.
