I again managed to find a mushroom growing in a palm oil plantation, this mushroom has a very unique shape and at first glance looks very similar to an umbrella. It has a long but small stem, I also really like its whitish brown color, and most likely this is a mushroom that is still very young. This mushroom grows directly on the palm fruit fronds, but the question now is whether this mushroom is safe for consumption or not, I also tried to smell this mushroom from a close distance, and this mushroom does not have any smell. If seen from the appearance, this mushroom really makes me admire it, besides its beautiful shape and color, it also has a size that is quite right for a mushroom. To get maximum results I also tried to photograph it using a macro lens.

Look at its shape; this mushroom really does resemble an opened umbrella. For maximum results, I also tried to capture its beauty from various angles.
Okay everyone, now I'm going to share some images of this unique mushroom here.
Enjoy!
