FungiFriday - A new colony
I asked my friend ChatGPT how long does it take for mushrooms to start growing on fallen tree, and this is the answer I got:
The time for mushrooms to grow on a fallen tree varies, typically starting within weeks to months. Factors like tree type, mushroom species, and environmental conditions play significant roles. Common wood-decaying mushrooms, such as oyster or shiitake, may appear within 3 to 6 months if conditions are favorable, including adequate moisture and temperature. Full colonization and regular fruiting might take a year or more, especially with larger or harder wood.

I admit that it is the lazy way of doing research. But I just wanted a quick answer, and this is the excuse I am going to stick to. It is always a good start for further research too.
I found this big Cork Tree trunk laying among some grasses. I am not sure how long it was there, but mushrooms started to appear already, and it got me wondering. But to be honest, I thought it takes way longer for the little guys to start popping.
The lichens you can also see are not exactly an ideation, as they grow on top of the bark anytime and when the tree is still alive and standing tall. Mushrooms, on the other hand, not always.
These last ones below remind me of sea slugs with their ruffly, colorful edges. Google them if you dont know how they look, and you will know what I mean :)
And a freshly grown plush toy :)

These shots are so amazing, are these mushrooms edible?
They might be :D But I wouldn't dare trying.
Thanks :)

Very nice photos. You make these mushrooms looking very attractive and mysterious. We could find some strange looking mushrooms growing on old logs this rainy season. But they aren’t edible. My gardener wants to get some mushrooms spores to scatter on this location.
Local people here are crazy about mushrooms. They often go searching for wild mushrooms in the forest. Two people went missing in the forest. One was found three days later liking very hungry. The second one just found his way out of the forest after seven days. They sell wild mushrooms along the main roads! These are rare and expensive mushrooms.
I wonder if spreading spores would work... Probably worth a try :)
Wow.. they should be more careful if they don't know the forest.
In Poland people do that too. Some manage to pick a lot of them in the season and they usually have high price. I prefer to pick them myself. Even if I get less of them.
The appearance of the mushroom plants that you showed me was really very beautiful.
Thanks!
Good morning dear friend @ewkaw how are you?
You are very right and that is what I like about going out looking for mushrooms, researching mushrooms is what attracts me.
Your friend ChatGPT's response is very accurate, some tree trunks have fallen in the reserve for several months, and I have seen it every week to do some monitoring and so far no wood-decomposing fungus has appeared.
The species of mushrooms you have found are beautiful, I appreciate that you let us know
Have a great weekend
It also might be too dry or so hot for them to grow. But when the weather gets right they should appear :)
Hello @ewkaw
Your friend's answer clears me of many doubts, given that in the property where we are looking for mushrooms there are many fallen tree trunks and they do not have mushrooms.
I love the mushrooms you found. Your photos are always beautiful
Have a great friend's day, enjoy it very much
I am glad I could help :)
Nice photos captured!
Thanks!
I found some mushrooms a few days ago, similar to the small white ones, and some orange ones. I didn't know what to say to introduce them, they are waiting for the ray of inspiration to reach me.... hahaha...
Ohhh I have so many mushrooms like this. I just keep looking at the photos every week and I wait... It will come :) Eventually.
🙂 sí.
Another lovely photos to see. 😍
Thanks :)
admin, what do you think about my post, can you teach me @ewkaw.
Teach you what?
