Description

This has definitely been the most ubiquitous, and conspicuous fungal species on campus during the 2010 fruiting season. These are very young mushrooms pictured here, destined to markedly change in appearance over the days and weeks they might endure. (Photograph by Gregg Heathcote 19 May 2010 near the main entrance to the Great Hall.)
