  1. Excuse me but where is the orange? Posted 5 years ago
    1. Not visible here. The medulla is orange in some specimens. I didn’t check in this case so I can’t technically confirm the species level at this time. I’ll check back at a later time when it is not so dry Posted 5 years ago
      1. Thanks, it wasn't the most serious question, just a silly question based on the species name :) Posted 5 years ago
        1. Ferdy, I thought that might bet the case, but I can't resist giving a literal answer :P LOL Posted 5 years ago
          1. You be you, it's wonderful :) Posted 5 years ago
