There was a beautiful mushroom - Eng/Esp

(Edited)

One day I went to the park to clear my head for a while. Nothing special, I just needed some fresh air and some silence. There was plenty of shade, the grass was tall in some corners, and I could smell that typical smell of damp earth that my city has after a few days of rain.

As I was wandering aimlessly, I saw a log half-hidden in the undergrowth. I got closer and there it was: a mushroom growing all by itself on the wood, quite beautiful, actually. It wasn't entirely unusual, but it caught my attention how it had grown like that, on a dead log and far from large plants.

I noticed that there were also many very small mosquitoes perched on the mushroom. I couldn't say what they were doing there, whether they were feeding or breeding, but the mushroom had definitely gathered them there.

I stared at it for a while, and it was like a small reminder that life always has these simple moments, those details that go unnoticed. Nothing spectacular (apparently), but it made my day and gave me some lovely photos.


Un día fui al parque a despejarme un rato. Nada especial, solo necesitaba aire fresco y un poco de silencio. Había bastante sombra, la grama estaba alta en algunos rincones, y se sentía ese típico olor a tierra húmeda que tiene mi ciudad después de unos días de lluvia.

Mientras caminaba sin rumbo, vi un tronco medio escondido entre la maleza. Me acerqué y ahí estaba: un hongo creciendo solito en la madera, bastante bonito en realidad. No era totalmente raro, pero me llamó la atención cómo había crecido así, sobre un tronco sin vida y lejos de grandes plantas.

Noté que también habían muchos mosquitos muy pequeños posados sobre el hongo, no podría decir qué hacían ahí, si se alimentaban o se reproducían, pero definitivamente ese hongo los había reunido allí.

Me quedé un rato mirándolo, y fue como un pequeño recordatorio de que la vida siempre guarda estos momentos sencillos, esos detalles que pasan desapercibidos. Nada espectacular (aparentemente), pero me hizo el día y me regaló unas lindas fotos.

I picked this piece up from the floor, it was cold and had a soft texture.

I returned to the park two weeks later, and out of curiosity, I passed by the same spot. I wanted to see if the mushroom was still there. When I arrived, I realized everything felt different. The grass was pretty cut. The log was still in the same place, but the mushroom… it was gone. There was barely a trace, like a trace that it had once been there.

It made me a little sad, but it was also like coming full circle. The ephemeral nature of its presence made it all the more special. It didn't last long, but that's precisely why it's etched in my memory. The park goes on, the log goes on, and you keep walking. But that moment with the mushroom is now part of my memory.

Volví al parque dos semanas después, y por curiosidad pasé por el mismo lugar. Quería ver si el hongo seguía ahí. Al llegar, me di cuenta de que todo se sentía distinto. La grama estaba bastante cortada. El tronco seguía en el mismo lugar, pero el hongo… ya no estaba. Quedaba apenas unpis, como rastro de que alguna vez estuvo allí.

Me dio algo de tristeza, pero también fue como cerrar el ciclo. Lo efímero de su presencia lo hizo más especial. No duró mucho, pero justo por eso quedó grabado. El parque sigue, el tronco sigue, y uno sigue caminando. Pero ese momento con el hongo ya es parte de mi memoria.

This one is one of my favorite findings so far.

Sometimes nature serves to talk about life. Like mushrooms, sometimes we are here only to disappear and leave behind only memories. Regards, @kitzune
