Today I'm back to greet you in this great community. Very early this morning, I went into the forest to look for mushrooms. I'd actually planned it since yesterday. Realizing it was Friday, I was thinking about what I would present to my mushroom friends today.

Last night, heavy rain made me even more enthusiastic about looking for mushrooms. Since my trip this time was quite long, I used my motorbike to get there. When I arrived at the first location, I immediately looked there, but after searching everywhere, I couldn't find any mushrooms there. I wasn't surprised, though, because last night's rain was the first after a long dry season, so mushrooms wouldn't grow right away.

After searching several locations here and finding no results, I moved to the second location, 200 meters away. Upon arriving, I noticed a small white spot in a pile of burnt straw. I immediately stopped and examined it, and it turned out to be a real mushroom.

This mushroom was very unique, shaped like cotton, but I was a little skeptical about whether it was really a mushroom. Tell me, it's very different from other mushrooms in general. It doesn't have a stem, it looks like a cotton ball. It's very pretty, orange on top and white underneath.

I was very happy after finding this mushroom. Then I also found another mushroom not far from here.

This one is a mushroom I often find in haystacks. It's still small and hasn't bloomed yet. It's edible and tastes delicious. I often make soup with it, and we often hunt for it after the rice harvest. It grows in rotting straw.

After moving a few steps away, I also found a dead mushroom. I suspect it's the same species as the one above, but it has bloomed and died. We call it the straw mushroom.

Even though it's dead, this mushroom can still stand upright for a long time as long as it's not crushed by anything else. In fact, if you touch it, it becomes brittle and falls immediately. I like its shape and color, which attracted my attention and made me take a picture of it.

Actually, in my area, the rice harvest hasn't started yet, so it's very difficult to find this mushroom. The one I found was... A pile of burnt straw that has been reduced to ashes, but because straw is the habitat of this mushroom, it still grows there, albeit in small quantities.

I once tried cultivating this mushroom at home, but due to limited knowledge and a lack of suitable space, I failed. My goal was to simply harvest the mushrooms when I wanted to cook them, without having to forage for them in nature. It was so much fun.

This is my contribution to #fungifriday by @ewkaw, and I dedicate it to all of you. I used my Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro camera to take this photo, and I'm the photographer.

That concludes my post for today. I hope you enjoy and enjoy the mushrooms I caught today. See you next Friday.
