Mommy and an offspring, and some other

This is my entry for #FungiFriday initiated by @ewkaw

This is such a surprising find for me during the photo walk, because the mushroom that I find is a little bit surprising. Not because of the shape or the color, but how they almost stack to one another giving me the impression that one is daying mommy, trying to protect its emerging offspring that will continue its species lineage.

Look at the old, and almost dead bigger mushroom below, and if you look closely below the cap, you will see another mushroom of this species has grown so nicely and looks so healthy. So the mission of this mamahas to spread and to continue its species lineage is considered a success.

Here you can see more closely from a different angel, and the way I took the photo makes the young one seem to be emerging very close to the base of the old one.

That makes this finding a little bit surprising, and more interesting than the other that I will post today.

Next, I have a different species that is growing on another branch, but this one is very small, just like a small white ball popping out from the brown rotten branch.

Then I have these smaller ones on the other rotten branch.

The last one for today, I found on the bark of a bigger plant, the bark is still wet, so it will be an ideal growing place for the mushroom to grow. I saw a few of them grow very close to one another.

hmmm do you know what kind of arthropod that was curling up near the mushroom?
