#AnacostiaBioblitz Observation of the Day (10/16/20)

The #anacostiabioblitz observation of the day goes to this interesting Calostoma mushroom by @plaisant of Greenbelt Biota. These type of mushrooms produce spores inside their fruit bodies rather than on an outer surface like the gills. They also form symbiotic relationships with many types of trees. Observed in the Still Creek subwatershed: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/62709595?fbclid=IwAR0ZJ926mIlPQ5vj8DihyTl9lgYOBS-nB95jVzjPwZjaPdeUFxBf99rBLco
