Drab Bonnet Mushroom (Mycena aetites)
Before Ramadhan, I made my way back the to local wood to look for some subjects to be photographed. When I was passing the narrow road, I noticed these mushrooms growing in group on the decaying log. Perhaps, they needed a shady spot to stay hidden but not now because I need them.
Known as Drab Bonnet Mushroom (Mycena aetites), a large genus of small saprotrophic mushrooms that used to be seen growing on the rotten logs. As we know, mushrooms grow in every habitat, and you certainly don’t need to go to a nature reserve to find your first toadstools: there will more than likely be several species in your garden.
The mushrooms bloom from filament-like strands or threads (known as mycelium) that grow in the wood. Interestingly, these mushrooms are edible, but they are so fragile and insubstantial that they are not worth harvesting. As most of them grew in the shady spot, I managed to take them out to the light.
Some mushrooms are very small that took me some time to get the focus. The closer I look at fungi the more I love to shoot and I wish I had much time to take more shots.
