RE: The Amatuer Mycologist #27 - Pluteus cervinus - "The Deer Mushroom"
It's interesting that it grows in the warmer months. I live Jerusalem and I have never seen any kind of mushroom period (That doesn't mean they are not around). I am not clear on the the purpose of the Basadia on this particular species. Why does it even exist.
Well the basidia are the spore dispersing structures. If you mean the cistidia with the three horns, no one else is really sure what they do either!
Sorry, I meant the Cistidia as shown in the microscope. That looks spooky to me sure.
