Hello Everyone and happy Friday for all of you...

Hello Friday People...
Today we are here again to make posts about Mushrooms and the like in the FungiFriday community, and as usual I will also be showing my portraits today. Today I found a very beautiful type of mushroom that grows in a pile of wet Oil Palm dregs. I found it in one of the gardens close to the Oil Palm processing factory, and of course Oil Palm is the home of various beautiful Mushrooms when they are stacked in a damp place. Unfortunately, some of the Mushrooms were crushed because they were crushed by heavy piles of Oil Palm dregs. However, this time I tried to dismantle the pile and saw the mushrooms that were still intact amidst the Oil Palm dregs and found one of the following types of Mushrooms.
When we see from its shape, this Mushroom belongs to the Inkcap type Mushroom family, in which Inkcap Mushrooms can be identified by the lines on their canopy or petals. The Inkcap type Mushroom also has a long stem that makes it seem like it is standing upright from where it grows, and usually the Inkcap type stem has a very bright white color.
However, if I look closer and focus at the shape of the canopy edge, this Mushroom is similar to the Black Mushroom Flower type, in which the Black Mushroom Flower has a canopy edge that has a pattern like a flower, sharp, and having a deep black color as its characteristic.
I think this mushroom is a combination of Inkcap and Black Mushroom Flower, or Inkcap which happens to have a deep black color. Previously, I also found Inkcap Mushrooms in a pile of Oil Palm dregs but unlike the form I got this time, the Inkcap which previously had characteristics that were truly belonging to the Inkcap Mushroom with an umbrella-shaped canopy. Apart from all that, this Mushroom still has a dazzling shape. This Mushroom is very fragile, the slightest touch can make this Mushroom crumble, therefore my physiology is very careful when photographing it.
This Mushroom grows in very humid and slightly wet places, places like this are almost as wet as swamps, but I don't know for sure I will find this type of Mushroom in swamp areas or even more beautiful than this type. These Mushrooms grow abundantly on the surface of the Oil Palm dregs and they have a single stem for each Mushroom. These Mushrooms look long and big because of their long stems, their stems also reflect light so their white color is very bright. The entire surface of this Mushroom is hollow and that is the reason why it is so brittle.
I'm not sure that this mushroom is edible, and I'm more sure that this Mushroom is Poisonous. Seeing from the color and where it grows, I doubt this Mushroom can be eaten, but there are some Mushrooms that grow on the dregs of Oil Palm which are edible and very tasty but very difficult to find. However, most edible Mushrooms have a denser and tougher structure, and these Mushrooms actually have a very soft shape and are hollow all over.
Therefore if you find this type of Mushroom it would be better if you don't eat it.
That's the beautiful Black Mushroom that I found in a pile of palm dregs today. Even though I'm still confused about this type of Mushroom, this Mushroom is one of the most beautiful Wealth of Flora in the world.
Hope you guys like it and see you on the next #FungiFriday post.
