FungiFriday: Young Luminous Porecaps

If you ask me, what is my favorite mushroom? The luminous porecap (Mycena manipularis)—yeah, that's my favorite fungus. I love this mushroom because its pores are bioluminescent. Lately, I often share posts about luminous porecaps. It's just that they are adult mushrooms. I can tell you that luminous porecap is a truly beautiful kind of mushroom.

...and this time I also share the same type of mushroom, but here are young luminous porecaps.

There were so many of them, growing like rows of domed towers on a rotten tree trunk.

If you look closely, the pores of the mushroom are visible on the cap, but they are not yet glowing. It only takes a day for them to become beautiful adult mushrooms.
