After helping my uncle harvest oil palms in his garden, I decided to look for mushrooms growing in oil palm plantations. Oil palm plantations are one of the most suitable and recommended areas if we want to look for mushrooms, because there is a habitat for mushrooms, the atmosphere under the oil palm trees is very cool and humid so that it makes it easy for mushrooms to grow, both mushrooms that grow directly on the ground and mushrooms that grow on the fronds of oil palm trees.

After 5 minutes of searching for mushrooms, I managed to find my first mushroom and it was a white ear mushroom, actually I don't know the name of this mushroom but it is clearly visible that this mushroom has an ear-like shape and is white and I also gave this mushroom the name white ear mushroom. This mushroom usually grows well on dead trees especially on the fronds of oil palm trees, when the rainy season arrives we can easily find this mushroom because it has a very large population. This mushroom has a soft and chewy texture so it is not easily broken, this mushroom also has a lifespan that is not too long maybe it can only last up to 3-4 days.
Okay friends, here are some pictures of this unique mushroom.
