Bright-Colored Decomposers
I was outside a little while ago, thinking about clearing some weeds around the poles of beans, when something caught my eye. On a closer look, I realized they were fungi, bright orange ones peeking out of a dead log!
"What day is it today?" I asked the husband. "Friday, I think," he replied. "Perfect!" I ran inside the house for the phone. The #FungiFriday initiative by Ewkaw is on my mind.

I mentioned before that colored mushrooms or fungi are rare here, so these were an exciting find for me today. Unfortunately, my phone camera couldn't take more decent shots than these, reminding me of the need to buy something better. I'm sharing them anyway, lol!

They are tiny, by the way. According to GL, they are white rot decomposer fungi. Another source identified it as the Cinnabar polypore, which is a medicinal mushroom, the kind that grows year-round on fallen wood.
I wasn't sure which ones they were, so I left them be. No touching!
On that same wood, I found something else. It was as if the log had been splashed or painted with shiny yellow. It turned out to be a fungal growth, likely Ceriporia spissa, GL mentioned.
Accordingly, it is a plant pathogen (parasitic) that appears as a crustose, bright orange to yellow growth on the underside of hardwood logs. It is common during the rainy season. It makes sense as we have been having incessant rains here.
Well, the log had been lying there for months, and fungi had been growing on it, making it their home :) There are white ones too, polypore fungus, if I'm not mistaken. Some were new growth, others had been there before, and they are already turning greenish (moldy).
Well, I thought I was lucky to have encountered some bright-colored decomposers today. The weeding job is postponed tomorrow as the thunder is roaring and the rain may drop anytime soon!

Wow look how beautiful they are and after a while now they will just fade away, this fungi has a deep lesson humans can learn, they were not there yesterday and might not be there tomorrow.
The colors are just what I have been looking at.
Haha thank you for leaving them where you meet them since you don't know if you can touch them or not.
The pictures are not really bad
Thank you for your kind words. And yes, I'm not keen on touching them :)
Indeed. Something to remember as we go through our lives each day.
Happy weekend, dear !LADY
Exactly, creation has a lot to teach humans as the day passes by
The fungi came on a nice day for the photograph. I think it was a good clearing activities, greetings.
Thanks. Wishing you a glorious weekend. Still thinking whether to push through with the clearing or not, !LOL

What a strange fungi the red one
The yellow for sure reminds a paint!
They are a surprising discovery :)
Since you don't know it, it's good you didn't touch it. The pictures came out well
Yes, no touching for me, unless I know they are safe :) Thank you !LADY

Thank you, thank you❤️
Wow, those orange mushrooms look really interesting. I like brightly colored mushrooms.
They are quite fascinating. It's my first time seeing their kind.
This type of mushroom is very durable and can survive even in hot weather.
That's good to know. It means I will see them even months from now :)
The mushrooms are growing well, nice photo :)
They are indeed, thank you :)
!BBH
You're welcome :)
It's rare to see those bright coloured one. I felt my hair standing while trying to zoom it😬.
Oo sis, ngayon lang ako makakita ng ganitong color. Minulto ka sis ng fungi, hehehe
Attractive pictures from you friend!
Some of these fungi are poisonous, I'm happy you chose safety over feelings by not touching them.
Nature is beautiful 😍.
Gracias, fren. It was great to see them here and yeah, it's an unwritten rule for me, no touching hehe.
