Field Notes

Description:

A group of 3 unidentified gilled mushrooms (3rd & 4th photos). Growing near these http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/251516013 and probably the same species. The last photo is from the following day (after the mushroom caps opened and flattened).

Habitat:

These mushrooms were growing at the edge of a heap of composting leaves and organic matter at the fase of a fig tree (Ficus sp.) in a large semi-urban yard and garden next to a disturbed patch of remnant forest. This location is in the equatorial tropics of northern New Guinea.

Notes:

These and several other types of fungi sprouted after consecutive days of heavy rainfall.
