Dog's Nose Fungus
Camarops petersii
Camarops petersii is a saprobic fungus in the Boliniaceae family.
Camarops petersii looks like a bulging black eye, complete with eyelids, stuck to the side of a dead log. The eyelid is a veil that protects the young mushroom but soon ruptures to expose the spore-producing surface.
