EXPLORING MUSHROOM

On Sunday I found a huge mushroom on the compost heap in our backyard.
Wow ... so big...



It seem like a Termitomyces... an edible mushroom that live symbiotic with a kind of termite.


This mushroom was growing on the decomposed paper.




Mostly it's found on the ruin of wooden material on the soil that rich of organic material, especially wood.


The spore have already mature...


It stuck strongly on the pile of decomposed paper.


Look... we still found some piece of paper on its root.
So exciting...


Thanks GOD for this special thing in our tiny garden.

  2. I'm afraid I couldn't eat this mushroom, Endah.
    Are you sure it's edible one?

  3. Dearest Endah,
    You better watch out for your home or it is getting infested by termites that will eat it...
    So this is the Cendawan busut or Termitomyces albuminosa
    Hugs,
