Asterophora lycoperdoides
Asterophora lycoperdoides is a species of fungus in the Lyophyllaceae family. It grows as a parasite on other mushrooms, mainly Russulas. Its gills are poorly formed or nearly absent. Asexual spores are produced on the mushrooms cap which enable the organism to clone itself easily. The spores are star-shaped, hence the name star bearer. It is regarded as inedible.[2]

gollark: That is true.
