Description My first find of this very unusual mushroom.
With its shape and leather-like structure, it seems to come straight out of H.P. Lovecraft's Mountains of Madness.
Its reproductive strategy is very interesting: when the mushroom is mature, it opens and releases the spores, which are then dispersed by wind or animals.

Der Halskrausen-Erdstern

Mein erster Fund dieses sehr ungewöhlichen Pilzes.

Mit seiner Form und Lederähnlichen Struktur scheint er direkt aus H.P. Lovecrafts Berge des Wahnsinns zu stammen.

Seine Fortpflanzungsstrategie ist sehr interessant: Wenn der Pilz reif ist, öffnet er sich und gibt die Sporen frei, die dann durch Wind oder Tiere verteilt werden.
