Summary
[edit]_(43104303975).jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Earthstar fungus isn’t hard to spot because of its distinct, star-like appearance. The colors aren’t star-like though, as the oddly beautiful earthstar fungus displays various shades of brownish-gray. The central puffball, or sac, is smooth, while the pointy arms have a crackled appearance. This interesting fungus is also known as barometer earthstar because it reacts to the level of humidity in the air. When the air is dry, the points fold up around the puffball to protect it from weather and from various predators. When the air is moist, or when it rains, the points open and expose the center. The “rays” of the earthstar can measure from ½ inch to 3 inches. |
