White-Purple Pinwheel (Marismius siccus) | 10% to shy-fox
These white-purple pinwheels mushrooms (Marismius siccus) were found in the dark spot, and pity if they were there for nothing. So, after dealing with another kind of mushrooms, I shifted here, and picked them out to open space for the shots. As always, it's great to find another type of pinwheel 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.
This typical mushrooms are also known to grow in the characteristic fairy ring pattern and has tiny white purple, bell-shaped, pleated cap and skinny reddish 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 it also dragged me to observe its cap structure as if it was intentionally carved by nature and live peacefully among the leaves litter and little twig in the wood.
