Description
Salt-shaker earthstar is an unusual group known for its star-shaped fruiting bodies that resemble a salt shaker. Typically found in sandy soils, these organisms have unique multi-spored puffball structures. When mature, the outer layer peels back to reveal multiple mouth-like openings, spreading spores when disturbed. These distinctive features make salt-shaker earthstar a fascinating subject for study and a notable find for nature enthusiasts.
