Fungi Friday Challenge: The life cycle of the ear fungus is similar to that of the shiitake mushroom.

almost 3 years ago

Hey hivers, it's great to be back contributing to the Fun Friday community. In this entry I have some pictures of ear mushrooms, which grow on long-dead trees in the house. Well, a little explanation that I know about this ear fungus, based on the understanding that I have read. And as a collection for the #FungiFriday community hosted by @ewkaw.

The life cycle of ear mushrooms is similar to that of oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms, in that the mature fruiting body produces a large number of small, light spores. days)

If the spores remain in conditions and locations suitable for their needs (such as dead wood or cellulose-containing material and in moist conditions), the spores will germinate through several stages and form a mycelium.

During the first stage, the growing primary mycelium will continue to multiply and develop. It then develops into a secondary mycelium, forming a primary mycelium (thickened mycelium on the surface of the secondary mycelium, about 0.1 cm in diameter).
