Description
Chlamydopus is a rare desert-dwelling fungus group. It has a unique appearance with a long, slender stalk and a small, round cap. The fungus emerges from a sandy egg-like structure buried in the soil. As it matures, the cap opens to release spores. Chlamydopus is adapted to survive in harsh, arid environments and is primarily found in desert regions.
