Multiclavula ichthyiformis
Foraging: Never eat a wild mushroom on a photo or an app’s word. Many deadly species look like edible ones.
About
Multiclavula ichthyiformis is a rare terricolous (ground-dwelling) basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. The lichen produces small, flesh-coloured fruit bodies with flattened, fishtail-shaped tops that grow directly from the soil surface and bear spherical spores on their undersurface. Endemic to a high-elevation bog in Costa Rica, it was discovered in 2007 during a biodiversity survey and remains known only from this single mountain location.
