Nature never runs out of ways to tell stories and provides the best surprises for us to enjoy at every moment. This time, nature tells its story through two beautiful types of mushrooms growing on a dead tree trunk. Once the tree stood proudly amidst the mist and light, but now it no longer stands proudly but is home to a smaller, more beautiful, and calming life.
The two types of mushrooms simply sit silently on the dead tree, not singing, not waiting for applause, let alone screaming for attention. Although they sit there silently, their presence makes the atmosphere feel more alive. It's as if nature is whispering to the world that beauty doesn't always have to be loud and flashy. Because beauty exists everywhere, and it even appears in unexpected places, like the place I encountered.
The first mushroom I found was a brownish-yellow one. They grew in clusters. Strangely, they didn't form a single, larger group. They formed small clusters that looked like small families living in their own homes. At first glance, these mushrooms resembled oyster mushrooms. In the middle the cap is concave inward, that is the characteristic that I remember most in oyster mushrooms.
Meanwhile, the second mushroom is a bright orange color that looks like a glowing ember. This mushroom is all alone. Even though it's alone, it still stands there proudly. It's not afraid of being alone, nor is it afraid of being brighter, even though it's very small. The mushroom you see in this image now appears large. However, in reality, it's very small. I zoomed in when I took the photo.
When I saw the results in the gallery, I realized that the mushroom wasn't alone. It was accompanied by a tiny insect. It was so small that it was invisible to the naked eye.

Beautiful. We have so many like this. Since I lived in a place surrounded coconut trees.
Wow, that's interesting. Mushrooms like the humidity near coconut trees.

Nature undoubtedly has a lot to tell, and it pleasantly surprises us every time.
The two species you found are beautiful; each one has a special appeal.
Excellent shots.

How unique that orange mushroom is!
I'd never seen that one before. Yes, there are similar ones here. In fact, I have some photos I took of them that I haven't shown here yet. I have to write a post about them.
Hugs!
Glad to know this beautiful mushroom grows in your area too. Can't wait to see your beautiful pictures too.
I'll post them soon. In the meantime, check out one that grew up near my house:
