While cleaning palm discs this morning, I discovered a rather unique fungus. This fungus comes from the Genus Trichaleurina, or in our language it is better known as the buffalo eye fungus. The shape is quite interesting, similar to an ear or a small bowl that is dark brown in color. When I tried holding it, the texture felt rubbery and a bit soft, almost like jelly.
This fungus usually grows in damp places, especially around wood debris or soil rich in organic matter. I found it in a fairly shady area, close to the remains of palm fronds that had started to rot. Maybe because of the humid conditions after the rain in the last few days, this fungus is growing abundantly.
Out of curiosity, I tried to observe more closely. The top part is a bit shiny when exposed to light, while the bottom part looks a little fuzzy. From the information I have read, this fungus may have an important role in helping the natural decomposition process in the surrounding environment.
