It is true as has often been said by wise people where "the forest always holds something for us to discover", I completely agree with this opinion because I have found various beauties since I was involved in the nature observer community, I have found various species both living and dead, and there are even several times I have found the remains of species that have not been completely destroyed and returned to the soil nutrients, and that is what continues to encourage my enthusiasm to explore the forests around me and plantations, as if I found enlightenment and a glimmer of hope to increase my knowledge and happiness.
In this exploration I found one of the very beautiful mushroom species, but their current condition has withered but still radiates the natural beauty they have, although the mushroom cap has closed which indicates that the signs of their life have ended, but still the charm of the color owned by this mushroom still looks durable and amazing, although my findings this time can not enjoy their beauty in a living condition, but fortunately I still have the opportunity to observe them and find some interesting parts of this mushroom species and of course the uniqueness that is not owned by other mushrooms in general.
The first thing that caught my attention was the mushroom caps which were curled up as if they were protecting the spores contained in each slice of lamella, their caps had now hardened and didn't even break after I squeezed them several times and this added to my knowledge about the durability of these mushrooms, even though they were dead they didn't break easily like the ink mushrooms that we often find during forest exploration, while the mushroom stems which were still standing upright showed no signs of fragility at all, in my heart I muttered whether the stems of these mushrooms were made of steel so they were so hard and tough. destroyed? This is really unique from my point of view because most mushrooms will easily disintegrate when the mushroom's life is over but not for these mushrooms, they still look preserved in the remains of their life.
