So, I decided to go mushroom hunting. I was accompanied by some friends heading to the palm plantation, around 20 km from my place. It happened after one of them told me there was a good spot for mushroom hunting, that was a palm plantation. After all set, we departed to the location that was straightly welcome me with the challenging tracks. It's all fine! I had to get there whatever it takes. Soon, I got there, I spotted a lot of mushrooms were growing in the random humid ground, many of them grow on the tree trunk and branches. Some little mushrooms are very small that took me some time to get the focus. The closer I look at fungi the more I love to shoot and I wish I had much time to take more shots. This typical mushroom is known Goblet Parachute (Marasmiellus vaillantii) that usually grow on the twigs, small branches of conifers and deciduous broadleaf trees. The mushrooms bloom from filament-like strands or threads (known as mycelium) that grow in the wood. Interestingly, these mushrooms are edible, but they are so fragile and insubstantial that they are not worth harvesting.
