Happy Friday to all my beloved hive friends and all my respected mushroom lover friends ♥️

Five days ago, last Sunday, I returned to the forest with the main goal of hunting beautiful mushrooms there. Usually I hunt on Wednesday or Thursday, and the reason I hunted mushrooms on Sunday was because I already knew that I would accompany my mother to Banda Aceh to do her fifth chemotherapy, so it would be very difficult for me to find mushrooms there. The conclusion is that I went mushroom hunting on Sunday to prepare some mushrooms that I will share in this beloved community.

I had invited some of my friends to join me in mushroom hunting, but they couldn't come because they were busy with work, so I decided to do it alone. At first, I was a bit hesitant to do it, but if I didn't do it, I would miss the opportunity that only happened once a week, so I made up my mind to keep hunting mushrooms in the forest even though I was alone.

I immediately set off alone, accompanied by the evening breeze that was starting to get cold. I passed several plantations owned by local residents and not long after that I arrived at a garden owned by a resident that was very far from the settlement. I chose this place because there were indeed many beautiful mushrooms that grew abundantly in that place.

After arriving at the garden, I immediately parked my motorbike and started walking and continued exploring the garden in the hope of getting satisfactory results. After walking a few steps, I saw several mushrooms growing in great numbers.

From a distance, this mushroom is not very visible because it is covered by the weeds around it, but when I started to approach the mushroom, I saw how beautiful this mushroom is.

Its size is quite large and its shape is irregular, it looks like a container that can hold a lot of water on top, and I myself don't know the name of the mushroom because it's the first time I've seen this type of mushroom.

However, there are also some that are relatively small in size, and these small mushrooms have a very beautiful shape compared to large mushrooms.

The texture of this mushroom is also quite hard, and has a thin skin. And this mushroom grows on a dead and rotting mango tree, and when I took a picture of this mushroom I was surprised by the presence of a small snake that made me very surprised, but fortunately the snake immediately left me.

Seeing the presence of the snake, I finally left the place and started looking for mushrooms elsewhere. While walking, I could see every corner of the park freely and I kept walking until I arrived at a dry pond.In the dry pond there is a dead and rotting tree trunk and on it grow some very beautiful mushrooms, this is what they look like.

I didn’t really know the name of the tree, but I was focused on enjoying my precious find, a very beautiful mushroom. This is where my photography skills were really tested.

This mushroom also grows in clusters and the flesh of this mushroom is quite soft and there are fine hairs all over the mushroom, and I took advantage of the opportunity to take more photos of this mushroom.

I have been able to capture this extraordinary beauty as best I could, even though I did it myself, but I felt happy and satisfied when I found some of these beautiful mushrooms, and I have also selected several pictures of these mushrooms with several pictures that do have good quality and of course the best pictures.

It was getting late which made me have to go home soon, I went home feeling happy, and this morning I made this post with the hope that all my friends will be entertained by this post.
