Field Notes

Description:

Maybe Geastrum sp. I found them in a pine forest, close to a more conspicuous earthstar, see http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/157248911.
I suppose that the outer envelope has disappeared due to the age of the fungus, ???

Habitat:

Pine tree forest, Pinus silvestris

Camera Model: NIKON D300. Exposure Time: 1/160 sec.; f/11; ISO Speed Rating: 400. Exposure Bias: 0 EV. Focal Length: 90.0 mm. Flash fired.

Could be, I did not look for them

Yes strange there are no rays. Could they be buried below the pine needles?
