  Thanks, I agree! I love finding it. I didn't notice at the time, but I wonder what those little brown specks are. Maybe frass or maybe another fungus growing on this one? I'll have to keep a look out for that in the future. Posted 5 years ago

    Not sure, to me they look like plant material, small seeds. Posted 5 years ago
