Fungi Friday : Two Mushrooms On Different Trees

Hello Hiver, good evening, how are you all this Friday..? I hope all my friends are in good health always.

Hunting for mushrooms is sometimes very boring when we live in urban areas because it will be very difficult for us to find them. but if we hunt for mushrooms when the rainy season has arrived, even though we live in urban areas it will be a different story. We can be sure that it will be very easy for us to find them hehe.. 😁 Yes, last week I found two types of mushrooms in my neighbor's yard, I found these two mushrooms in two different tree trunk marks. Each of these trees is dead. And I also don't know the name and genus of these two mushrooms, so I found out on Google Lens.

1. Trametes Gibbosa commonly known as lumpy bracket , is a polyporous fungus which causes white rot. It is found in beech stumps and the dead wood of other hardwood species. The fruit bodies are 8–15 cm in diameter and semicircular in shape. The upper surface is usually gray or white, but may be greenish in older specimens due to algae growth. The elongated pores are located beneath the surface. Fruit bodies are often attacked by boring beetle larvae.

2. Coprinus Comatus or shabby ink cap, lawyer wig, or shabby mane, is a common fungus that can often be seen growing on lawns, along gravel paths and waste areas. The young fruit body first appears as a white cylinder rising from the ground, then the bell-shaped cap opens. The cap is white, and the scale cap is the origin of the common name of this mushroom. The gills underneath the cap are white, then pink, then turn black and melt into a black liquid filled with spores (hence the name "ink cap").
