Friends Of Landport Bottom

There are several species of earthstar (Geastrum) in the UK. These were part of a group growing in the woods east of the Tumuli Field at Landport Bottom. Photo: Zoe Watson 30/01/2016. You would normally expect to see these in the autumn.

There's an amazing Youtube timelapse video of earthstars opening here: https://youtu.be/KY6mwnRPiRU
