        I imagine it would be quite similar to what I had in mind. "Orange sun". Right!? Posted 4 years ago

            Yah, I don't think it would be appropriate to post here :) It is a combination word pertaining to both female/male anatomy :D Posted 4 years ago

                  The nickname is more apparent here:
                  Calostoma lutescens 2 gasterocarps consisting of spherical gleba (spore sacs) covered in a yellow peridium atop tall golden stalks of intertwined hyphae that look similar to pasta or spaghetti squash. At the apex of each gleba are pink to red star-shaped pores. Spores are white to gray. Calostoma lutescens is one of the 20 gasteroid fungi belonging to the suborder Sclerodermatineae within the order Boletales. It is believed that fungi within the Calostoma genus underwent diversification within the Boletales order from end of the Cretaceous period through the middle of the Cenozoic era. C. lutescens is ectomycorrhizal with Quercus (oak) species.<br /> <br /> Habitat:<br /> The side of a ridge growing under an oak (in soil) in a dense mixed hardwood forest in Northwest Georgia<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/56206/calostoma_lutescens.html<br /> <br /> Slow-motion spore dispersal<br /> https://vimeo.com/240396920 Calostoma,Calostoma lutescens,Fall,Geotagged,United States,agaricomycetes,basidiomycota,boletales,calostomataceae,fungi,fungus,mushroom,mushrooms,sclerodermatineae
