Aceh, Indonesia

This white mushroom with a cap that is wide when open grows in the grass on decomposed animal waste. Mature capped mushrooms are characterized by their caps being open and on average having a stem height of between 5 and 10 cm.

Newly grown, the hood is cone-shaped with a few yellowish spots. The lower hood looks like gills with wide wedges and it looks very beautiful.

Usually this mushroom will grow after a few days of rain, and when the weather starts to get hot again, it will slowly wither and shrivel until the stem breaks and falls on the grass.

You have presented us with some very ordinary mushroom photography in an extraordinary way. In fact, I cannot praise your photography skills.
