The Alien

I stumbled upon a lone stalk of mushroom, one of the "kulat txxx lembu" I supposed, the bigger type. Quite rare and odd looking. The top was almost round, the size of slightly bigger than a golf ball, dark brown in appearance, with radiant pinkish white stalk. It was drizzling after heavy rain in the morning. I took her picture as I can, but not quite prepared and mindful of the wet floor.


Not satisfied with the result, I return to the site in the evening. To my surprise, the ball has opened up! There she was, so beautiful, and pink all over. I was on all four and took her picture until I was satisfied - I LOVE digital camera - no need to worry about changing film rolls hehehe. I really had a "field day"!




11 a.m the budding mushroom, if not for the rarity, would go unnoticed.



A closer look at the bottom. reminded me of the big headed alient character in the Star Trek movies... Wonder what Ummualya's active imagination would come up with....



6 p.m Full Bloom!





Under the canopy...




Delicate soft pink stalk, like a baby's bum...
