Tropical Wild Mushroom, Fungi, Series 2

There are three photos in this 2nd series on Tropical Wild Mushroom or fungi, being temporarily named as "Durian Mushroom", "Mushroom Spores" and finally, "Manhood Mushroom".

1. Durian Mushroom


The mushrooms above grow on a dead Durian branch that have fallen on the ground. The dead branch was relatively too hard for mushroom to grow since mushroom usually prefer to sprout on semi-rotten wood. See larger image of the above mushroom.

---------------------------------------

2. Mushroom Spores


The photo above show tiny mushroom spores growing on a burned log. The spore is a size of a match stick. See larger image of the spores.

---------------------------------------

3. Manhood Mushroom


Now for the fun part. I assured you that the above photo is real. It's another kind of mushroom jutting out from a hole previously drilled by an insect on a dead log. The mushroom diameter is slightly wider than a crayon. See larger image.

Tropical Wild Mushroom, Fungi

These wild mushrooms (or fungi) grows on the sides of dead wood. Not sure if this fungi are poisonous to people, but they are not eaten either. Their flesh is too tough and leathery. This fungus helps people by decomposing old trees so that nutrients can be recycled by new plants and animals. It also grow by itself or in small groups.

Excellent use for screen wallpaper. Let me know if you want a bigger size.

I am unable to identify this fungi but is very similar to "Turkey Tail" species (scientifically called "Trametes versicolor"). See www.fcps.edu/islandcreekes/ecology/organism_menu.htm for technical data.

The picture was taken Sep 08, 2007 at Semengok Wildlife Center about 12 miles from Kuching, Sarawak.

White Mushroom, Crepidotus applanatus

This morning, I brought my kids to an agriculture outlet called "Disiniland Argolet". An Agrolet is like an agricultural theme park, or someone's really huge backyard. Anyway, Disiniland Argolet (not Disneyland, ya) is located somewhere at Kpg. Segedup, off Jln. Batu Kawa, Kuching. The sole purpose of going there was horse ride and boat ride for my kids.

As for me, the only subject that attract my attention there was a cluster of white big mushrooms sticking out from a semi-dead tree. I think those mushrooms is no older than 48 hours old. Yeah, wild mushrooms grow very fast. See the image above.

I think the above mushrooms is of genus "Crepidotus applanatus" or "Pleurotus ostreatus".
