Today, my father and I went to an oil palm plantation to clean up the fronds and fruit waste that had become very dirty. This work was quite exhausting because oil palm fronds and fruit waste are also quite heavy.
Right at the edge of the plantation, I managed to find a dead and decaying tree, and there I discovered a cluster of star-shaped mushrooms that looked absolutely amazing. It has been a very long time since I last saw and found this particular mushroom. This mushroom has a unique feature that other mushrooms do not have, especially when it comes to its shape.
This mushroom has an almost perfect star-shaped appearance, with a round spore sac in the middle. If we press or squeeze the spore sac, this mushroom will release a black powder, which is considered poisonous.According to the information I have gathered, this mushroom cannot be eaten because it is highly poisonous. Therefore, its beauty and uniqueness can only be admired.
Okay everyone, now I will share some pictures of this star mushroom here.
