Good morning to all my beloved hive friends and to all my respected mushroom lover friends ♥️

Two days ago, precisely on Wednesday, I again did an extraordinary activity, which was taking the time to go into the tropical forest to look for several types of unique mushrooms that are the main inhabitants there. For me, mushroom hunting is not only about us looking for and finding mushrooms, but we can also interact and feel our closeness to nature which is increasingly more enjoyable, although the most important thing is that we succeed in finding what we are looking for.

I did this mushroom hunt with a friend and a small child who always asked to join in the mushroom hunt, and on the way to the forest we chose to pass through plantations owned by local residents and of course we did this trip on foot, although it was very tiring but by walking we were more likely to get mushrooms on the way.

The first plantation we passed was a former corn plantation, and as we passed the plantation, my friend suddenly saw a huge pile of mushrooms.

My friend who was interested in the mushroom immediately took out his phone and took a picture of the big mushroom. Likewise, I, who did not want to miss this opportunity, also took a picture of the mushroom.

Back of the mushroom

This mushroom grows very aggressively, so the tree looks like it is being eaten by this mushroom, the size of this mushroom is also quite large which makes us very amazed when we see it. When viewed from above, this mushroom looks mossy, but when we see this mushroom from behind, the fresh color of this mushroom is just visible, which is orange

The size is very large, even bigger than my face, and unfortunately I don't know the name of this mushroom, at first I thought it was a Lingzhi mushroom, but after I looked closely I was able to confirm that this was not a Lingzhi mushroom. For those of you who know the species of this mushroom, you can tell me directly in the comments column below 👇

However, this was our first discovery, so after my friend and I captured the beauty of the mushrooms, we immediately decided to continue the journey.

After passing through the former corn plantation, we finally arrived at the second plantation, namely the oil palm plantation.

On this plantation, we immediately started hunting for mushrooms seriously because the weather on this oil palm plantation is relatively cold. This is because the leaves of the oil palm trees block direct sunlight from reaching the ground, so this place becomes very humid.

And this is the first mushroom that I managed to find on this oil palm plantation.

Front of the mushroom

It is truly unique, this mushroom is like a different mushroom if we look at it from a different perspective, we will be able to see a yellowish white color on the back of this mushroom, and we will also be able to see a blackish orange color if we look at it from the front, this natural product is indeed shrouded in mystery, it is truly extraordinary.

Our destination is in sight, we just need to pass through the fence of this oil palm plantation and we will immediately arrive at the tropical forest that I mentioned at the beginning. However, again and again I managed to find my second mushroom in this oil palm plantation.

I found this beautiful little mushroom on a rotting oil palm frond, this mushroom looks unusual. Its small size and round and circular shape make this tiny mushroom unique. And still on the same frond, I also managed to find other mushroom species.

However, if you look closely, these two mushrooms are very similar, from their color to their shape, the only difference is that the first mushroom is smaller and rounder in shape, and I can assure you that this is the same species of mushroom.

I managed to find so many mushrooms in this oil palm plantation that I didn't want to leave it, but my friend was already in the tropical forest which made me a little hesitant, but I still chose to explore the oil palm plantation first.

And I also managed to find my third mushroom in this oil palm plantation.

Although I found this mushroom in an oil palm plantation, it does not grow on oil palm trees. So my discovery was a really fun discovery for me because I managed to find a total of 4 mushrooms in one go.

Actually, I managed to find a lot of mushrooms, but I still chose to look for unique mushrooms and mushrooms that I had never seen before, that's why I was willing to hunt for mushrooms deep in the forest.

The afternoon made us immediately decide to make a trip home. Well, those are some pictures and stories from me in this post, I really hope that this post can provide entertainment for all of my friends. All of these pictures are purely mine, I took this picture using an Infinix 10 pro cellphone and edited it using the Lightroom application.
