Field Notes
Description:
Unfurled umbrella shaped fungus. In early stage it is gold-colored shading to brown spot on the top. In later stage, it is brown/gray. Stalk is medium.
Habitat:
Growing out of and at the base of a decaying tree stump. A layer of leaves are on the ground surrounding the stump. There has been a lot of rain lately resulting in constant dampness and wetness of the ground.
Notes:
This fungus seemed to last for only about one day. I had gone back the next day to photograph it again and found nothing but black shoots where the fungus had been.
