My contribution to #FungiFriday with @ewkaw
Rambling around I came across this fungi growing out of tree stump that appeared to have been felled.
I know little to nothing about fungi, how it affects nature, except it plays a big part in our ecosystem. (Plus I love it in food).
What is Fungi?
How long fugi takes to grow, would be interesting to know. What actually triggers the growth, anyone out there knowledgable on fungi?
Fungi Appearance
Banded colours running around from greens to russet brown, one looks soft and spongy, the next appears to have a hardened outer edge.
Fungi Living Organisms Sharing Old Tree Stump
Weevil, Woodbore or termites appeared to be running to/from the fungi, food for more than one thriving on old tree stump.
Taking a peek underneath a soft lime green, with what looks to be a foothold onto the tree stump.
Nature takes care of herself, removing all nutrients one way or another, what dies.. lives on feeding the next.
A family is like a forest, when you are outside it is dense, when you are inside you see that each tree has its place. ~ African Proverb

I don't know much about fungi but I know they grow a lot and am sure in different species,here in Nigeria there are some we are able to cook and eat and while we don't eat some other ones but they are present there.
I like it a lot in food and am sure a lot of other people do like it too

All that I know about fungi is that they love shade and damp conditions! I have some garden logs that I placed as a border and the one in the shade grows the same stuff. It seems that the log absorbs water and it doesn't evaporate, leaving it damp and ideal for fungi growth! A great post Lady @joanstewart Blessings and upvoted!

We had a strange patch of mushrooms grow after rains a couple of years ago, apparently something to do with termites in the lawn, thousands of little white ones will have to write about them too.
Wish I knew more about what you are able to eat or not, most I have researched (I would still not eat) and definitely lack in any informative decision. They love the damp shaded areas that is for sure.

Hola @joanstewart, que bonito esos hongos que se dan allá y que se pueden comer de distintas formas. En Venezuela solo se ve una especie de hongo, el que se le llama comúnmente Champiñón. Se usa en estofado de pollo con champiñones y en las pizzas, muy rico, su nombre científico es el agaricus Bisporus.

Aquí te dejo una reseña de este hongo. Kriptonia @isabelpena

Love eating what I buy, we get a great variety off the shelf, I love adding them to meals in different dishes @isabelpena sad how little we know about what we put on our plates.

Yes my dear friend @joanstewart The growth of one or another mushroom is due to the climate of each country. Our climate is very hot, it must be why no other type of mushroom grows.

Many years ago I was on a trip with about 100 children into a forest. They all gathered fungi so that we cooked it and had a good meal of it. Nobody got sick . Everybody new which were the good ones and which not. I am still impressed bij there knowledge.

People who took you must have known what was edible, what a lovely way to teach children to find their own food on the day.

Not all fungi are worth eating, though i do eat mushroom, i don't really like it i believe it has no taste just chewing. It only posses the taste of the stew

Yes we do have have like that on trees in our forests too. But how is it different from mushrooms? We do put mushrooms in our dish like chopsuey.

Cook them into many dishes, savouring their delicate flavour, some of the big brown ones I add garlic with a lump of cheese and bake, very tasty a meal on it's own for lunch time.

Hola. Existen hongos comestibles que puedes encontrar en la orilla del camino, pero hay otros que pueden ser muy tóxicos y por eso se necesita saber muy bien cuál debemos echarle a las ensaladas. Saludos.

Agree with you, plenty grow in the wild it is really knowing which ones you are able to eat, rather leave them in the wild, since I have no knowledge on mushrooms. Buy in the shops @aresbon

It has been a long time since I have strolled through the woods, as a youth I used to go foraging for mushrooms and brought back carrier bags of them.
Cooked in flour and butter they are a meal in themselves

Regarding the mushrooms, one thing I know for sure is that I love them to eat. In Croatia you can find the usual kinds plus truffles (underground mushrooms) which are a real delight.
