Siskiyou Mountains west of Grants Pass, Oregon: EARTHSTAR IN THE YUCATAN Deep in the forest where trails start petering out the forest grows higher, the shade is heavier and the humidity higher. It smells fungusy, and fungi love the environment. One of the most eye-catching is shown above. That's an earthstar very similar to those up
North, of the genus GEASTRUM, but who knows how they classify this Yucatán branch of the
group? |
