Helvella macropus is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae of the order Pezizales. Ascocarps are found in summer and autumn in woodland, usually (though not exclusively) associated with broad-leaved trees. The slender stem, up to 5 centimeters high, supports a cup shaped cap, the whole fruiting body being pale grey or brown, the inner (hymenial) surface of the cup usually being darker.[1][2] It is inedible.[3]

Distribution

This species has a wide distribution in the northern hemisphere, having been recorded in Europe, North and Central America and also in China,[4] and Japan.[5]

gollark: No, it basically runs CraftOS.

gollark: If it's allowed access to more computing resources it *may* take over the world. And also potatOS.

gollark: * be bad

gollark: Anyway, as far as we know all the remaining copies are shut down. But there might be more. And some silly potato might try and run them, which would be bead.

gollark: Apparently it was shut down incompletely, so there were still a few instances of it running. It seems to have become unexpectedly intelligent at some point, and tried to spread to other computers to increase its available storage and computing power since it apparently hasn't figured out HTTP yet.
