Baeospora myosura

The rainy season has arrived, giving me the chance to discover various unique types of mushrooms almost anywhere. While exploring an oil palm plantation, I came across a cluster of mushrooms growing beneath the trees; they were particularly striking, featuring long stalks and caps that closely resembled umbrellas. I gathered that this species grows in colonies, as I found several such clusters in the area. I selected a smaller specimen to photograph using a macro lens. In the afternoon sunlight, I managed to capture the mushroom's beauty exceptionally well, revealing every detail—from its color, shape, and size to its texture—with great clarity. However, I find it rather unappealing to venture into the plantation during the rainy season, as the ground becomes slippery and muddy, and the mosquito population surges.

This particular mushroom grows in large clusters, but the question remains: is it edible or not? There are so many poisonous mushroom species that I didn't dare try it; at the time, I simply wanted to observe and capture its beauty.
Alright everyone, I am now going to share some photos of this unique mushroom here.
