Purple Pinwheel Mushrooms
These purple pinwheel mushrooms (marasmius haematocephalus) were found on the leaf litter somewhere around the wet area. So, after dealing with another kind of mushrooms, I shifted here, and tried to appreciate its existence thru the lens. As always, it's thrilled to see this typical fungi lives well after the rain and as I thought I would find some other fascinating mushrooms around the humid spot and indeed, this mushroom also won my heart. Purple Pinwheel mushrooms are also known to grow in the characteristic fairy ring pattern. This typical mushroom has tiny orange, bell-shaped, pleated cap and skinny blackish stalk that likely form a group of break-dancers. Like other nature pieces, even the smallest fungi with striking beautiful shape and color can bring out our childlike sense of awe. Apparently, I was not only caught up with its color but they also dragged me to observe their cap structures as if they were intentionally carved by nature and live peacefully among the leaves litter and little twig in the wood. It's great to see their shapes, the elegance and charming look have just made my day. I was thrilled to see these mushrooms were still in good shape and color and I decided to take a few photos from different angle with my DSLR.
