Hoosierfunguy Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Dude, you come up with some of the most unique fungi. I think that's a Cathrus Ruber. At first glance I thought maybe a deformed Clathlus Archeri, but I had to do a little checking in my book. Didn't find it, so I did the walk of shame and googled Clathlus and the Ruber showed up ?. I've never seen one before. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfunguy Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 *Clathrus One day I might figure out how to set the auto correct dictionary and maybe proofread before I submit...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhuntington Posted September 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 I thought that too but all the pics i found show it directly on the ground not on a stalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfunguy Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 I wouldn't rule it out, yet, but the Lysurus periphragmoides does have a stalk, but i haven't found any with a taper like that. I hope you get a positive ID. Do you have a good microscope? It wouldn't hurt to harvest some of that olive brown slime and have a close look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosiermushrooms Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Nice find. There are several Clathrus species, and likely some unknown ones. This would be a good one to dry if it is still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
