Hello friends,
It was never clear to me why, when they cut down a tree, they cut additional grooves on the stump. It seems that these grooves accelerate the growth of mushrooms because I have often seen them grow from such grooves. A large community of several species of mushrooms grows on the stump of the cut birch. Like an inflorescence, one species emerges and spreads rapidly. An easily recognizable winter mushroom - Flammulina velutipes - appears next to it in several vacancies. Split Gill mushrooms also started growing along the edge of the stump.
I will definitely have to visit this stump soon to follow the growth and development of these mushrooms. And to check if there will be another species.

Thank you for stopping by and supporting my content!
I have actually never seen the stumps being cut like this. Maybe it helps to decompose them faster?
Kind of gives a place for fungi and mosses to grow too, which is nice :)
I've noticed that they do it here regularly.
That would probably be a reasonable explanation. :)
This is interesting... a cool mushroom grid ;)
I tried to search a bit about why we seem sometimes this grid pattern in a stump. So the info that I found says that it is done indeed to make faster the decomposition, as this way more moisture enters inside (and also ventilation) so fungus and bacteria can live and help the process.
Thank you for your comment and research. :)
Cheers.

BEER.Pretty cool fungi! I think they cut the grooves to aid in the decomposition of the stump, and to speed reforestation. But that is a guess! lol
Thanks for sharing this post! Such interesting pictures of nature at work.
Cheers!
