a Verse SpongeD

 

Like those memories
memories were pretty
pretty were the days
days have passed

passed in the history
history of our lives
lives as we lived
lived as it is heaven


heaven is here
here there are taxonomies
taxonomies of green and non green
non green are sponges
  
sponges are polyporuses
polyporuses have scaly caps
caps fanned out
out in the dead woods
  woods smell not fresh
fresh but like very green
green as it is green old
 old painting on the planet



 On getting my camera back after repair works, I was waiting for something to shoot on. Thus the day arrived...!!! Today, I was in a good mood to click on anything and then I got this interesting fungus (Polyporus squamosus).I got to know about this from my mother who is a botanist!!!
 Taxonamical information of this fungi is given below, have a quick look at it.

Kingdom:  Fungi

(In Greek mythology, dryad is a tree dwelling nymph, also known as a tree spirit. As Polyporus squamosus looked like a saddle that one of these tree spirits would sit on, it is named so.!!!)

Finally, it's just from a few clicks that I could learn about this parasitic fungi species which plays a key role in decomposing dead trees in woodland, thus maintaining the ecosystem. So every single creature have their own role in Earth and so you also. Play your role and have a great day...
