🌟🍄Texas Star Mushroom is already Fruiting 🍄 🌟
🌟 🤯! The official state mushroom of Texas, the Devil’s Cigar (#Chorioactisgeaster), is already fruiting in its distinctive cigar shape! 🪵🍄 We usually don't see them appear until the fall! If you’re keen to spot this rare, hissing mushroom, search near Cedar elm stumps. Blowing on them to simulate the wind and a change in relative humidity will release spores and you can hear the hissing noise.
Tag us and add your observations to @inaturalistorg and if you want to try to clone the mushroom on agar for chemical studies, DM us.
