There is a dense forest about 6 miles southeast of my town, and it is my favorite natural spot for mushroom hunting. The moist forest litter produces strange and beautiful wild mushrooms during the rainy season. Among them is the bristly tropical cup, and I think it is the most bizarre-looking mushroom I have ever seen. The cups, covered in white hairs, look rough but are soft to the touch. The solitary ones are beautiful; the clusters are no less stunning. The dense forest makes my hair stand on end, but seeing the beautiful hairy goblet, our fears seem to disappear.
This is another entry I submitted for the daily #monomad challenge.
