Be like this tree is dead but still useful for the life of other creatures.
Mushroom is a type of plant that lives and grows as a saprophyte plant. Saprophytic plants are types of plants that live from the remains of other living things. Because living fungi use the remains of dead plants, they are not parasitic plants.
While the parasite plant is a type of plant that lives on other plants that are still alive, so that the parasite plant is detrimental to the plant it is on. So be prepared to die or at least become a sick plant if the plant is invaded by parasitic plants.
We can learn from the life of dead and moldy trees if we relate them to life. If a living person benefits others it is a common thing, but if a deceased person still brings benefits it is an extraordinary thing. In this case I can say that the tree is dead and overgrown with fungus like the dead but it can still be used for the life of another person or another generation that is still alive.
The question is, can we benefit the living when we ourselves die? I said that we can all be useful to others even if we die, that is by doing a lot of good and creating something useful. Scientists and inventors are examples.
I got this mushroom plant while on a hiking trail in the Panisan hills area, Sentul Bogor, West Java. I took a photo of this mushroom to share with my friends. Hopefully we can become dead trees that are beneficial to other living beings.
