Phone Photography || Beautiful mushroom with a blackish purple color

This is my contribution to #phonography contest round-44 organized by @untilwelearn

So to participate in this contest I want to share several photos of blackish purple mushrooms that I found growing on dead wood and starting to rot, and of course I took all these photos using a cellphone camera.

I am sharing this mushroom in this contest for a reasonable reason, this mushroom is very unique because at a glance this mushroom is similar to the lingzhi mushroom but the color is different, if I touch this mushroom it is very soft like ear mushrooms but both have differences in the mushroom stem, if it is wood ear mushrooms It grows by attaching to dead wood and has no stem at all, but on the other hand, this fungus has a strong stem to grow on dead wood.

Apart from that, since I have been involved in the world of fungi and have identified various species of fungi through observation activities, this fungus is still unfamiliar to me, this is the first time I have found this fungus, so at this time I cannot give you all the species name due to information and my knowledge is still very limited with this mushroom, however I will continue to try to do some searches related to mushrooms and hopefully I can find information about the species and can share it with all of you.

The physical characteristics of this mushroom are its medium size, soft mushroom texture, hard mushroom stem and blackish purple mushroom color. If you look at it at a glance, this mushroom has similarities to the Lingzhi mushroom, but both have striking differences, therefore if you have information related to this mushroom, please help Tell me so that this post is more detailed and complete.

I have captured several photos of various sides of mushrooms, enjoy & see you in the next post 😍
