[En-Es] Marasmiellus in the remains of the palm tree

Happy Friday, friends!

Feliz viernes amigos.


Years ago, we planted a palm tree in the garden that we thought wouldn't grow too tall, believing it was a dwarf variety.

Hace años teníamos en el jardín una palmera que pensábamos no crecería demasiado al ser de una variedad enana.

As time went on, however, we learned that it was actually going to exceed ten meters in height.

Con el pasar del tiempo supimos que iba a sobrepasar la decena en metros de altura.

That's when my mother decided to have it cut down.

Mamá decidió entonces mandar a cortarla.

A gardener took charge and cut down the plant, leaving about 60 centimeters of the trunk in the ground. He placed the rest to one side, where it has lain ever since alongside the withered leaves. Surprisingly, its fibers have resisted degradation from the elements for quite a while.

Un jardinero se hizo cargo y taló la planta dejando unos 60 centímetros del tronco en tierra. El resto lo colocó a un lado, donde yace desde entonces junto a las hojas secas. Sus fibras han resistido sorprendentemente la degradación por los elementos.

Years have passed, and it was only a few days ago that I finally saw signs that nature's organic agents are doing their job inside the wood, helping it reintegrate back into the soil.

Han pasado años y fue hace días que por fin vi muestras de que en su interior está haciendo su trabajo el agente que lo ayudará a integrarse de nuevo al suelo.

After the first recent rains, I came across this pleasant surprise.

They appear to be Marasmiellus, belonging to the Marasmiaceae family.

Al parecer son Marasmiellus, de la familia Marasmiaceae.

In Chile and Argentina, there is a fungus from this genus called Marasmiellus alliiodorus. It has a strong garlicky odor, which is why it is commonly used as a seasoning.

Existe en Chile y Argentina un hongo perteneciente a este género llamado Marasmiellus alliiodorus. Este tiene olor a ajo y por eso es usado como condimento.

I tried smelling the specimens I found, hoping they might be that exact species, but they lacked that distinct scent, so I ruled out the idea.

Probé oliendo los ejemplares que encontré con la esperanza de que fueran de esa especie pero no tenían esa característica y descarté la idea.
