Project Noah Fun Fact: The Fairy Inkcap is truly a cosmopolitan mushroom bing found on all continents except Antarctica. It is saprobic, growing in clusters, often by the hundreds; on decaying wood, especially near the bases of stumps; spring, summer, and fall. A saprobe is an organism that lives on decaying organisms.
