I'm a Birdwatcher!

Earthstar Mushroom

This is a supposed common mushroom as stated in the reference I used. However, it is the first time I've seen one. First tried to find it calling it a mushroom that looked like a sunflower, that didn't work. Then just perused all mushrooms and finally came up with the name! Earthstar Mushroom or Geastrum saccatum I found it and others close to some rocks in fertile soil under some evergreens. Probably would have never seen it in that location, but I was looking for a lost item. Didn't find the lost item, but so happy I was able to blip the Earthstar. It's quite unique in its habitat to be sure. Hope you find it as interesting as I did!
