Orange mushroom (Pycnoporus sanguineus)
Pycnoporus sanguineus is a fungus that attracts attention because of its beautiful color and shape. This mushroom is known for its striking red color, which can vary from bright red to reddish orange. This striking color makes it easy to recognize and stand out among the other flora in its habitat.
Pycnoporus sanguineus usually grows in a bracket or shelf shape, which means it grows horizontally with a horizontal surface that resembles a shelf. The diameter of the fruiting body of this fungus can vary, but often reaches several centimeters, making it large enough to see clearly.
This fungus is usually found growing on rotting wood like the one I found here, often in tropical areas. Its natural habitat adds to its beauty because it is usually found in damp forests with a green background that contrasts with the red color.
Apart from its beauty, Pycnoporus sanguineus also has uses in the field of biotechnology, especially in the production of ligninase enzymes which are useful in the paper processing and bioremediation industries.
