Jonathan, they are really unique! I'm glad you shared them.
beautiful color.
I have seen poison dart frogs into the cups.... so interesting...
Hi Heather, sure they are real, this particular was about i inch diameter, not so tall as you can see.. Check on the other species....
Yes there are, in very humid conditions. just like the other similar species we have in CR. This particular I have not seen in the caribbean of the country.

That looks unreal (but I'm not questioning that they ARE real). Are they large or small compared to a finger? They look like a reverse mushroom.
Amazing...
Are they in highly moist environment...
