This really surprised me, a new discovery that made me aware of the extraordinary nature. So a few days ago when I was on the edge of the garden, there I managed to find a very unique mushroom, in fact at first I didn't think it was a mushroom.

This mushroom grows in groups but what makes this mushroom look very different from other mushrooms is that this mushroom has a very small stem and that is what made me think this was not a mushroom at first.After finding this mushroom, I immediately Googled it for more accurate information, and it was indeed a slime mold. This mushroom is small but typically grows in large numbers, and is generally brown in color.

I managed to find this mushroom growing on the fronds of an oil palm tree, this is the first time I have found a unique mushroom like this, I don't know if this mushroom can grow on other trees or even directly on the ground, I will continue to look for this mushroom, hopefully I can find it
