Geastrum Triplex, Collared Earthstar
A mushroom that opens into a star. Small pocket print, big forest story.
What caught our eyeThe collared earthstar does not throw its spores: it waits for rain. When a raindrop hits the soft central sac, a small puff of spores comes out of the pore on top.

Field notes
Geastrum triplex, the collared earthstar, starts life as a closed ball. Its outer layer then splits into four to eight pointed rays that bend back like a star, and their inner part often breaks away to form a saucer, the collar that gives the species its name, under the round spore sac.
It grows in the leaf litter of broadleaf woods and around old, well rotted stumps, and is found across Europe, North America and much of the world. It is not poisonous, but it is tough and fibrous and not considered edible. This design shows it as a small chest pocket print, digitally illustrated for the WildlifeThings Mushrooms collection.
