Nature Tuesday – Mushrooms on willow trunk

It’s not the most common place to see a mushroom, but it happened to see these two growing on the trunk of an old willow in the park. It is not a mushroom that grows normally in trees, as is Shiitake(those mushrooms with wonderful aroma that are grown on logs). Probably the wind carried some spores that led to  their growth here. As expected, they adapted to the growing conditions on the bark of this old willow.

  1. I’m not a mushroom observer at all except what is available at the dinner table. Seeing some friends shoot the mushrooms, like you and Lado, I want to look for mushrooms around me, but it seems like they haven’t been there under very hot weather for several months.
