Some Whites & Browns


Out in the yard a dead log lies
On it fungi sprout and abound
different forms, shapes, and sizes
Yellowish, whites, and browns


A few days ago, I was curious to see how the husband was faring on his welding job, so off I went for a quick look. I was so chuffed he was doing great for a first-timer. Not wanting my eyes to be troubled by the welding sparks, I left him be and took a lil adventure in the corner.


There, I found something that made me smile. Fungi or mushrooms, whatever you prefer to call them, reminded me of Ewkaw's #FungiFriday initiative, where anyone can share, write about, or showcase their fungi finds.

These are my recent discoveries.


One of the alnus trees had been shading a large portion of the road below the property, and the neighbors wanted it cleared, so they asked permission and had it cut last year. They left it there lying for months, and it was almost decaying, some grass growing around it and yep, fungi too!


Google Lens identified some of them as Trametes Hirsuta, more commonly known as Hairy Bracket or Hairy Turkey Tail, and the others as Dryad's Saddle Mushrooms and Postia, similar to those I used to find in our backyard at the Lil Kingdom.


It was fascinating to find a variety of them in one dying log. Some grew in groups or pairs, others alone. Most are white or clear, and some have a bit of yellow or brown.


We have trekked a few hills, mountains, and forests but have yet to find bright-colored ones like those discovered by others in some parts of the world. How cool it would be if someday, we get to see reds or perhaps, polka-dotted ones.

And as far as I can remember, we haven't found the edible kind. We heard from others that people in a certain area in the other town intentionally burn the woods for mushrooms to grow. I do not know how true it is as we have not been to such a place, but it would be nice to see one if given the chance.

Well, that is all for now. I'll be off to wonderland, so until next time! Have a terrific Friday!

Oh the typical fungi growing on trees! I never found them looking appealing compared to other types

Yes they are. They are pretty common here but I'm always chuffed every time I find them :)

I was smiling while reading that some grow in groups or pairs, while others grow alone. Maybe that one is an introvert 😂😬.

This mushroom is very hard and can survive for a long time, we often find it growing on dead tree trunks, good job my friend, nice to meet you😁🙏

That's true, they stick to wherever they grow until they dry and fall off.

Thank you and pleasure to meet you too :)

I wonder if those bright-colored ones will pop up eventually, I hope you get some reds or even polka dots 😁❤️

I loved your publication. There are many types of mushrooms in that place and you made good observations of the colors and how they live.
Hopefully at some point you will be able to find a red one.
