Aceh, Indonesia

This mushroom is shaped like a trumpet with a stem like a handle and has a funnel like a trumpet. Its Latin name is Microporus xanthopus.

But there are many types of this mushroom. with some other differences. Such as shorter and smaller stems and wider funnel dimensions, also with differences in color. Some are brown and reddish. This mushroom has a rather hard texture and I found it growing on wood that is also a bit hard.

Hello,

What an interesting and elegant mushroom. Its shape really resembles a trumpet; nature has done its art again. Its hard texture and the fact that it grows on wood adds another beauty. It is also very enjoyable to see the diversity with colour and size differences. Thanks for sharing!

Have a nice one,
@bemier
