Kledang - the Mushrooms 01

We went to Kledang Hill in Ipoh again.  This time we used a jungle tracking route which is even more challenging than the Jejak Cabaran.  It is longer because it turns a big round to reach the top.  This route starts on the right side of the tar road down the hill instead of left side using the “desert route”.

Recently it always rain here in the evening.   Therefore, there are a lot of mushroom that grow naturally in the jungle.  We have noticed at least 8 types of mushrooms.  I stopped and took all of their pictures.  Some of them are colourful, some of them are showing their pure white colour.  Some of them are extremely weak and soft, and some of them look very strong.

This group of mushroom looked like a family.  The father, mother, brothers and sisters were staying together all the time.

This is a larger family of mushrooms.

Viewing them from the top, all of them seem to have their own umbrella.

These are the huge group of white mushrooms.  They stayed on the vertical site of a piece of rotten wood.

Kledang - the Mushrooms 06
These round short cute mushroom are less then 1 cm in height.  I have to take their photo at the shortest distance and with maximum closed-up.  Then, I still have to crop this photo so that the mushroom can be enlarged a bit.  They were really small.  May be they hadn’t grow to their matured size.

Kledang - the Mushrooms 07
This is the first time I see this type of strange mushroom.  It had a brown-orange sharp cap, and a rough stem.  It gave me a mysterious feeling because of its odd look.  Its tall cap makes it looks like the Harry Potter’s Hogwarts School.

SiewPeng noticed this and told me that this is the heart-shaped (love) mushroom.

These are the mushroom without the stalk.  They are hard and not easy to break.

We discover something new every time we come to Kledang Hill.  Mushrooms are not the only things that we discovered this time.  We have discovered other things as well.  Stay tuned.
