Collared Earthstar Fungus

Happy FungiFriday everyone!

Collared Earthstar (Geastrum triplex) is classified in an inedible fungus that mostly found in the detritus and leaf litter of hardwood forests and one of interesting mushrooms that is able to produce a central puffball on a platform consisting of four to ten plump, pointed “arms” that form the star-shaped appearance. Geastrum triplexis distributes throughout Asia, Australasia, Europe, and both North and South America. I first noticed this mushroom when I was about to go down to the stream, and I spent a little time to take the pictures of my new find mushrooms. These mushrooms is another entry for weekly #FungiFriday challenge, initiated by @ewkaw.
