Visually, this mushroom looks very similar to a small twig that creeps on trees, we wouldn't even think that this is a type of mushroom if we see it at a glance, in my area many people call this mushroom by the name of stick mushroom, its size is very small but elongated like a tree branch or stick, the color also varies there are black, brown, to reddish brown, but the mushroom that I found was jet black. So yesterday when I was in my friend's oil palm plantation, I accidentally found this mushroom growing on the rotting fronds of oil palm trees, even though the appearance is very confusing, I have memorized the shape and characteristics of this mushroom, so I immediately decided to photograph it.

This mushroom is truly unique, and I absolutely adore its unique shape. Unfortunately, its population has dwindled significantly in my area, making it extremely difficult to find. Furthermore, I found it outside of the rainy season, meaning it's a season-specific mushroom.
Okay everyone, I'm going to share some pictures of this unique mushroom here.
