Pycnoporus Sanguineus

Plants without chlorophyll grow as epiphytes, meaning they live on the remains of other living things. Come weathered are the remains of plants that lived some time ago. After the plant dies, the wood will rot due to exposure to rain and damp surrounding conditions. After the verse is rotten, many mushrooms grow.

The fungus that I found belongs to the Pycnoporus Sanguineus type. Bright red mushroom with a hard texture. According to several studies, this mushroom can be used as a traditional medicine to treat various diseases, especially headaches. But we must be careful about using mushrooms as medicine if there are no clear instructions and we must ensure that these mushrooms are not contaminated with dangerous ingredients.
