The "Coprinellus radian" mushroom grows on the surface of a rotting durian branch

Dear everyone, today I want to share an interesting experience with all of you, when I was walking in the garden my attention was attracted to a branch of a durian tree that looked rotten, this durian branch seemed to have fallen from its parent tree a long time ago, so on the surface of the rotten durian branch a pair of very beautiful "Coprinellus radians" mushrooms grew, this was an amazing sight for me when I was in the garden near my house, so I want to share an interesting experience with you through some photos that I have captured.

Coprinellus radians mushrooms have characteristics that make them very interesting to look at, one of which is the bright brown color on the cap and the pure white color under the cap and stem of the mushroom, their presence on the durian branches which have started to rot seems to bring new life, even though they are small with a slightly curved hat, they look like flowers that are blooming, the natural beauty offered by this mushroom is in sharp contrast to the durian branches which have started to rot, this is a symbol of new life in the midst of destruction.

when I approached, I could clearly see the texture of the body of this mushroom, at the top of the mushroom the surface was smooth and shiny, the bright light brown color gave the impression of being pure and fresh, as if this mushroom was fighting the rot around it, if we looked closely we could also see the fine pores under the mushroom cap which indicated that this mushroom was in the growth phase.

finding the Coprinellus radians fungus on a rotting durian branch made me reflect for a moment about how nature works, the process of decomposition or decay in inanimate objects is indeed part of a very important life cycle in the ecosystem, durian branches that fall from the parent are not waste but become material for new life, the Coprinellus radians fungus plays a very important role in this process because they are decomposing organisms that help break down organic matter into simple compounds and return it as nutrients to the soil.

As we know, fungi are a kingdom of fungi which is very different from plants, animals or bacteria. Fungi have a unique way of obtaining food, namely by absorbing organic substances from the environment in which they grow. As saprophytic organisms, fungi use dead organic material as a food source, in this case the rotting durian branches are perfect food for the Coprinellus radians fungus.

I also can't help but be amazed at how this fungus can survive in an environment that doesn't seem to support other life, a rotting durian branch seems useless to other organisms, but for this fungus it is a place full of potential, this fungus takes advantage of these conditions to grow, develop and continue its life cycle, this is another example of the extraordinary resilience of nature and how every living creature has a role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem.

seeing this mushroom growing on a rotting durian branch also gave me a deep understanding of life and death in the universe, in every cycle of life there comes a time when something must end so that another can begin, the decay of a durian branch is not something wasted but a new beginning for other life, in this context the Coprinellus radians mushroom is not only a symbol of life emerging from destruction, but also a symbol of the importance of every role in the ecosystem.
