| Marasmiellus candidus | March 15 2025 | Buket Alue Puteh, Aceh, Indonesia |
Hi everyone, today I want to share an interesting experience while exploring the forest near my house, especially about the beautiful small mushrooms that I found growing on a dead cotton tree, for this exploration I found a beautiful mushroom species "Marasmiellus candidus", it can be said that this tiny species is often overlooked because of its small size, but if you look closely this mushroom has its own beauty, I have captured several photos of this mushroom and want to show you all, how beautiful this little creature is in its natural habitat.
when I first found it, the Marasmiellus candidus mushroom looked like white spots scattered on the surface of a dead cotton tree, but when I got closer and observed in more detail and I realized how interesting the shape and structure of this mushroom was, the mushroom cap was small with a pure white color, but some mushrooms had turned brownish white due to the age of the mushroom, at the bottom of the mushroom cap was decorated with neatly arranged lamellae so that it gave a soft and graceful impression, the mushroom stem was also relatively small but rather transparent and it seemed that this mushroom stem was very fragile but when I picked it to prove it and it turned out that this mushroom stem was very strong.
