I noticed these while walking this afternoon. They were bioluminescent mushrooms hidden in the dimness of the forest I was exploring.

Mycena illuminans is the scientific name of this fungus. It has a white cap with rough pores, no gills, and a white stem.

Most grow in clusters, although some grow alone. They only exist when it rains continuously, at least for three consecutive days.

I handled them very carefully because I didn't want any of them to break. Yeah, the stem of the mushroom is so fragile, and if it is shaken a little, it will definitely break. It is a big loss when you find such beautiful mushrooms but don't handle them carefully.


This is another entry I submitted for the daily #monomad challenge.
