It was said that people say there are many demons roaming the hills of Alue Liem. That made me curious and challenged me to go there. I didn't go there at night, but one Sunday afternoon.
I didn't go there alone but invited some friends. The hills weren't a haunted place; there were just meadows with very few trees that weren't tall. If you're there on a hot day, you won't even know where to take shelter.
I cast a glance around. Still filled with curiosity: why is this place said to have many demons? Instead of demons, I only found a few cows belonging to local farmers who were devouring grass. The cows defecated carelessly, leaving their excrement here and there.
Some of the cow dung was fresh and had a strong smell, while some had dried. But in the cow dung, there was something sticking out. Mushrooms! There grows mushrooms with tall stems.
A moment later, I suddenly smiled to myself so much that I couldn't help but laugh. Yeah, it was the dung demon!
Deconica coprophila is the scientific name of the mushroom. It is a species of agaric mushroom belonging to the family Strophariaceae. First described by the Finnish mycologist Petter Adolf Karsten in 1821.
I have no idea why it's called the "dung devil". Whoever named him the first time must have been someone with a sense of humor.
Finally, we didn't catch any demons there, but they sure did leave their mark. Damn it! Ha ha ha!
Cool edit on these :)
+the bokeh of course!
