On this sunny morning, I explored the small forest around my village, hoping to find something unique to photograph. My footsteps were careful along paths that were rarely traveled, between tall trees and dense bushes.
As I got deeper into the forest, my gaze fell on an old tree trunk lying on the ground. The trunk of the tree had begun to rot and was growing with thick green moss, creating a scene that seemed full of life even though the trunk was dead. Among the moss something interesting was a small mushroom that grew gracefully on a fragile stem. Its beautiful shape and brownish white color contrast with the green moss makes it look very prominent. I realized that I had discovered a mushroom (Lepiota) a mushroom that has its own beauty amidst the simplicity of nature.
Not satisfied with just one discovery, I continued the search. A few steps later, I arrived under the shade of a kakau tree. Beneath it I saw a rotting kakau fruit lying on the damp ground. However, what surprised me was that a small mushroom grew by itself on top of the rotting kakau fruit, this mushroom known as (Laccaria) looked so calm and graceful in its unusual place, as if it were a silent witness to the cycle of life and die in nature.
Full of gratitude and awe, I captured this moment through my camera lens, hoping to share the beauty and uniqueness of this nature with friends in the Amazing Nature community. Nature always has a way of reminding us that behind every corner, there is always new life ready to be discovered and enjoyed.
