Monomad: California Fungi

My entry for the #monomad challenge this time is another macrofungi.

This is still about mushrooms because it just so happened that, until now, there has been a rainy period that is still ongoing in our area and most parts of Indonesia. So I hope you never get sick of looking at the mushrooms we have.

There are some mushrooms commonly called California fungi (Marasmius calhouniae) that I just found this afternoon while exploring nature in the woods on the outskirts of town. The mushroom is snow white, the cap is slightly depressed with a raised edge, and the gills appear translucent—which is what I love about those mushrooms.

Beautiful mushrooms. They look like they would glow in the dark. Those things are so weird. They are almost alien, but I think we could say the same about us.

Great photos!

A friend once told me that humans are also aliens. What do you think, do you agree with that assumption?

Thanks for dropping by 🙂

We are certainly and odd and curious bunch. I couldn't tell. There are signs of weird things in ancient ruins, but since our society is but a reconstruction of something older, I wouldn't be able to say that I agree or don't with that assumption.
