Fungifriday Our daily fungi.

Whenever we see mushrooms, we see life in its ever-changing cycle, and here we can see some of the most spectacular species from our region, such as some of the very beautiful earth stars with a star shape. Here you will be able to appreciate them.

We also have the first one, which is a poisonous or magical mushroom, as you can see it. This one usually grows on livestock manure substrate, whether from cattle or horses. It is highly appreciated for its abundant grayish and blackish contours and its medium size. It is not a large mushroom.

Each mushroom has its gills very well developed and exceptional, making them uniquely characteristic. The only problem is that many, like humans, are so similar that we can get confused and end up killing ourselves in the attempt, so we must be very careful.

Their colors in this case lean more toward white and black. The ones I’m bringing today are mostly white, black, and gray, but we have every kind of color and beautiful combinations, making it not seem like a desolate or eerily sad world, but rather one full of beautiful colors. In this case, though, that wasn’t possible.

We also have the crust fungi, meaning those that don’t look like normal mushrooms but have a microscopic form. Yet when many of them gather together, they look like a white, colorful patch stuck to tree trunks, rocks, or the very ground itself.

There are also those that attach themselves strongly to wood and become very tough, and their consistency is just as hard as the wood. And if it weren’t for the white band on the outside or on the lower part, I assure you they would go completely unnoticed.

That doesn’t take away from their beauty as what they truly are.

One last time I repeat: don’t touch any mushroom, don’t smell it, don’t touch it, don’t taste it if you are not completely sure of its edibility. You don’t know how dangerous it could be — even enough to kill you.

Thank you for coming.
