Taxonomy
Geastrum britannicum was first spotted on a roadside verge in Cockley Cley under pine trees in 2000 by Jonathan Revett.[1] At the time, the species was believed to be merely a variant of Geastrum quadrifidum, which is only slightly different in appearance.[1] In 2015, the fungus was finally described as a new species by Juan Carlos Zamora on the basis of morphology and DNA sequence analysis.[1][2]

gollark: Yes.
gollark: `end` *end*s the, well, block of code inside the `if` statement.
gollark: You should do `if input == "qtreactor" then [whatever] elseif input == "qtprocess" [whatever] else [whatever]`.
gollark: Well, that messed up the control flow.
