Fungus of the Day
One of the species commonly known as “earthstars,” named for its distinctive shape. It consists of two main parts: the exoperidium and the endoperidium. The former is the base on which the fungus rests, made up of 6 to 9 uneven rays that open out from the middle of the exoperidium. The endoperidium is the central structure, globose in shape and brownish in color. This fungus can be found on the forest floor of humid woodlands, among dry leaves and decomposing organic material.
