Cool spotting; a fungus that looks like a little person! Welcome to Project Noah!
It is a rare species and specimens that may be found in private collections end. Its price from a few hundred euros. Specimens found to be owned scientific institutions, for taking DNA code. A copy of the image is the property of the State Laboratory of Serbia, and is displayed in exhibitions Mycological Association of Serbia.
In Serbia, recorded only two findings
Looks like me after one hour of workout..... lol
I just read in Wikipedia that this species is inedible. Do you happen to know why it has reached to the point that it has to be strictly protected?
