Good night everyone 🌔

This evening I discovered something quite interesting while exploring the forest around the house, while checking the pile of organic waste that I deliberately keep in the corner of the yard to support biodiversity around the house, I discovered something unexpected, a colony of mushrooms growing abundantly in There, this fungus is Coprinellus domesticus which I have never noticed before even though I often encounter other fungi around my environment.

Coprinellus domesticus fungi are included in the group of saprophytic fungi, which means they obtain nutrition by decomposing rotten organic materials. The presence of these fungi in my organic waste is very in accordance with their basic nature, where they utilize rotting organic materials as source of energy, their presence in my pile of organic waste shows how important a role fungi play in the process of recycling organic matter, and they help return nutrients to the soil.

Coprinellus domesticus in organic waste

The Coprinellus domesticus mushroom has a characteristic that is easy to recognize, its umbrella is small with a reddish brown color, the umbrella of the Coprinellus domesticus mushroom has a cone shape and looks curved downwards, another unique characteristic of the Coprinellus domesticus mushroom is the way they release spores.

The Coprinellus domesticus fungus that grows in piles of organic waste consists of various plant residues.

The appearance of the gills of the Coprinellus domesticus mushroom is very beautiful, and when taken from the side it also looks very elegant.

I myself have long been interested in mushrooms, especially the wild mushrooms that grow around me.

And finding Coprinellus domesticus mushrooms in my organic waste was an unexpected surprise, this made me feel a day full of love, they grow in pairs in the wild, really moved my heart.

I am very sure that these mushrooms play a vital role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem by breaking down all the organic waste that I put in the corner of the yard, in this case I have a high level of confidence that I have an indirect role in the process of growing these beautiful creatures from the basidiomycota family.

Maybe without their presence, piles of dry leaves, fallen small twigs and even other plant remains would still accumulate as they did when I stored them there, and this really hampers the nutrient recycling process, so the existence of the Coprinellus domesticus fungus is from the universe for me and the environment around me.

Seeing this fungus growing on the organic waste that I piled in the corner of the yard reminded me of the importance of proper waste management, by providing an environment like the organic waste pile I did some time ago which is rich in plant material, we not only reduce the volume of waste that is thrown away but also provides an ideal place for various microorganisms and fungi to grow, the decomposition process that occurs in piles of rubbish not only reduces the impact of rubbish on the environment but also enriches the soil with nutrients that plants really need.

but still, I can't pick Coprinellus domesticus mushrooms and use these mushrooms for dinner, even though they are not poisonous, I have never tried eating Coprinellus domesticus mushrooms so far, from my experience in the world of mushrooms there are several species of Coprinellus domesticus which contain compounds poisonous chemicals, so not picking them for my dinner is the only wisdom, heheee

I prefer to enjoy its beauty and existence as part of the biodiversity around my house, while continuing to learn more about natural ways that I can use to maintain the balance of nature.

today's discovery of mushrooms makes me increasingly aware that nature never stops teaching lessons, even though we live in a very technological and modern world, nature always simplifies solutions to the various problems we face, the Coprinellus domesticus mushroom is a perfect example of how biodiversity can function as an ecological safety net that improves the environmental conditions around me, every spore that flies into the air and also in every drop of black fluid that indicates aging, I feel increasingly connected to natural processes that take place outside my awareness, the existence of Coprinellus domesticus is a reminder that life even Even in its simplest form, it certainly has a big role in protecting our earth.

See you soon & have a wonderful evening to everyone 🥰🥰🥰
