My Actifitivity: January 5 2022
Wednesday.
It continues getting colder but the rain has let off.
In the afternoon @isnogud came out to the village and we went on a decent afternoon hike into the forest again.
The recurring dry summers of the recent years have left their mark on large parts of the forest, especially the agriculturally planted pine trees are dying off all over the place.
The wind has started taking down many of the tall trees that have died in the previous years, leaving entire plots of the forest looking like a disaster zone.
It wasn't even particularly stormy lately, but the decaying tall trees are an easy victim even for a modest gust of wind.
Decaying wood also marks a new beginning in the wondrous circle of life as mushrooms start taking over, breaking down and digesting the tree carcasses and returning essential nutrition to the forest soil.
It's neither Friday nor Monday, let's just call it a #FungiEveryday.
The red banded polypore, fomitopsis pinicola, is hard at work in this particular part of the woods that we came through today.
It's not exactly an edible mushroom but it is non-toxic and has a bunch of medicinal properties, rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, it can be administered in a soup or a tea.
Disclaimer: I've never tried it and I probably won't, but so I've read on the interwebs.
Most importantly to me. They look really amazing and create a fascinating scenery with their pronounced brackets and distinctively banded appearance.
Thanks for your time!

This mushroom looks like a mussel shell 🤔
it's funny you say that because I thought exactly the same thing! that particular one especially.
I like the contrast between the rather dull and sad looking trees and the bright moss at the bottom.
#FungiEveryday 💪
I can appreciate you sharing my appreciation for the lushness of mossy patches, too.
