Yesterday afternoon, while exploring in a small forest near my house, I found something interesting. Among the scattered dry leaves, there was a small, bright orange mushroom that immediately caught my attention. After I looked closer, it turned out to be a Cantharellus minor mushroom.

This mushroom is very small, maybe as tall as the tip of my little finger. It grows alone in damp soil full of fallen leaves. Its shape is like a funnel with a slightly curly top. When I directed an additional light to take a picture, the color became even more striking against the dark background.

If you look closely, the structure of the top is very unique, like there are fine line patterns that emphasize its beauty. I became curious, it turns out this mushroom has culinary value in several countries. But don't worry, I didn't dare to eat it, I only enjoyed it through the camera lens.

This experience made me realize again that the beauty of nature is often hidden in places we don't expect. So, it's very important to be more observant when exploring, who knows there are small miracles like this that we can find.
