Hohenbuehelia petaloides |
This prime example of Hohenbuehelia petaloides was growing alone in an unkept lawn that had an accumalation of leaves and woody debris mixed with the thatch layer. Folds around itself and creates a funnel-like slot, similar to a shoehorn. Crowded gills run completely down the stem. Spore print white. |
