This is my entry for #FungiFriday initiated by @ewkaw
Finally, I could get some mushroom photos again in this rainy season, and this time I don't need to go out that far to get the photos of the mushrooms, because of the rain and the damp area in my house garden, some fo the small branch that I left become the great place for the mushroom to grow.
I am not sure why I put the branch, but I guess I used it as a holder for some of the plants that I planted in the garden, but no matter the use of the branch but it has become the place for me to get some mushroom photos and then I could share it in this #fungifriday community.
I am not very sure what species this mushroom is, I have tried to find its name on Google, but not have much info I could get. The shape is like cup, maybe a cup mushroom. But I like the brown-reddish color of this mushroom.
Also if you look closely the cup of this mushroom also hosts a few tiny ticks, not sure what creature is that. I wish I could get a better macro lens for bigger magnification to be able to indenfity the ticks.
almost all of the cup host at least one of these tiny ticks. maybe they have some kind of symbiotic relationship so that they can live easily in the mushroom.
And not far from those small cup mushrooms there are these older mushrooms, maybe from the wood ear, or the adult version of the cup mushroom. but what is interesting is how it is covered with white things almost all over it.
Does it means that the old mushroom is now being decomposed by another type of mushroom or fungi? if that is the case, it is the fungi on top of a fungi. Such an interesting way of nature work.
On the other part of the garden, I saw this solitary mushroom. it was standing upright when I first saw it, and just as I want to take a photo, a leaf fall into it, and then for the mushroom to lean inward. it was a funny occasion actually.
and this orange stick is kind of an organic mushroom that usually reproduce by the organic farmer, from what I earn and see from their post in some facebook group, but it grow easily here in my garden. maybe I was lucky to have them in my organic matter, who know I could have better fertilizer after the composing process from this fungi finished.
