There was a large fallen log in my parent's backyard. The wood was left alone without being moved or burned by my father after all this time. Now the wood has rotted and some of its surfaces have been covered with moss.
When I returned there a week ago, I found that the wood had grown mushrooms. It was not a coincidence, considering that the previous two days it had rained heavily.
Yes, the recent rains are something that the people of our village have been waiting for because the dry season has caused the wells to dry up, and the cow fodder grass has turned from green to dry brown. So you can imagine when it rained, it was a miracle and everyone was happy about it.
The rain has also brought luck to mushroom hunters like me. So I really enjoyed my few days there as I had enough stock of shrooms for posting on the current and upcoming #FungiFriday.
What's here is a rusty orange spore fungus, which is very likely a species of mushroom belonging to the genus Gymnopilus. You may be wondering why the mushroom isn't orange? I can explain that it is a young mushroom with a purple color.
Normally the color of the mushroom will change the day after from purple to orange with a fluffy cap. Later on the next #FungiFriday I'll be showing them to you.
