Nature gives a great contributions to the Environment and ecosystem.
Nature contains lots of interesting and scientifical activities and one of it is the Parasitisms. Not only human boday contains of parasites but also the nature. For today's #monomad post, allow me to share some of the most fascinating parasite plants here in forestry place and this are the different kinds of mushrooms found here in Mindanao, Philippines. Here in the Province, almost thousands of different kinds of mushrooms can be seen and found and some of it are located in cool places. There are also some mushrooms that survived in hot and intense heat. The most interesting in this are the colors and shapes, only few mushroom can be eaten and the rest is good for eyes only.
Where most of the Mushroom Grows?
Most of the mushrooms or fungi plants grows and depends are in the rotten bark of a tree. This very old bark of tree contains different kinds of mushrooms grows. This is truly a parasites because it only lives on the thing that is already rotted and from trunk to roots, all of the parts are already have different kinds of mushrooms plants. If we truly visited forestry areas, we can really see and found lots of it. Even if it is only a kind of mushrooms, it also gives a great contributions to the Nature and Environment.
Not all of the mushrooms can be eaten, some of it are very dangerous and poisonous, even animals wont eat it. This kind of mushroom contains a white and orange dot colors at the surface of the leaves. The stem is very soft and it can easily broke even if it blows by the wind. The roots are very small and the stem contains a dust particles that can be dangerous to eyes.
There are also some mushroom plants that contains a round and shiny leaves. The curve shape on the tip of its leaves and a shiny white color can make it more attractive. It contains a big stalks and roots clinging on the rotten bark of the tree. Others called this a Hut mushroom because of its shapes just like a hut house. It does not contains any dust particles but under in this leaves are the line marks and a soft tissue-like thing. This cannot be eaten but it brings an attractiveness to our eyes because of its shapes and colors.
Others called this a small elephant ear mushrooms. Well for me it will be nice to called its name because the shape is just like an ear of an elephant. The tip of its leaves contains a white shinny color with rough brown color at the surface. The shape is curve and it really stick and can't easily pulled out from the tree were it grows. It can survived in an intense heat or cool places and most of all a perfect for decorations inside the the house.
Elephant mushrooms can grow wider and bigger in fact there are lots of big elephant mushrooms can be seen and found here. One of this is in the picture, it lives for a few months. We can indicates if this kind of mushroom will be withered because of the line marks, cracks and dust particles at the surface of its leaves. A kind of very common mushrooms but the shape, sizes and colors are very attractive.
There are also some mushrooms grows in a rotten coconut fruits just like this one. It contains a soft stems with dust particles sorrounded in the stems. It wont live for a very long time and it only takes a day. Our Nature really have gems and some of it are not yet discovered. This plant can make our surroundings look like a paradise. Until next post, have a nice day to all of us.
