When it is about to rain, its arms open outward and push the central peridium upwards to enable its spores to waft away when hit by raindrops. It is in the Diplocystidiaceae family of the Boletales order.</span> </p> <div class="first graphic-container wide center ImageElement"> <div class="graphic"> <div class="figure-content"> <!-- sandvox.ImageElement --><img alt="Astreus hygrometricus 1656" src="" width="600" height="436" class="graphic" /> <!-- /sandvox.ImageElement --></div> </div> </div> </div> Mon, 28 Mar 2016 11:46:31 -0400 https://www.fungikingdom.net/fungi-photos--descriptions/basidiomycota/boletales-order/diplocystaceae-family/astraeus-hygrometricus.html Astraeus morganii (formerly hygrometricus) ‘Barometer earthstar'
