Opis: This common mushroom, often found in large numbers on rotting hardwood logs, is a familiar forest sight. They are tiny but beautiful in their numbers an their symmetry. Breaking down the scientific name, Xeromphalina campanella, you will find it is called the little dry naval! A truly unforgetable name of this little mushroom refering to to what it looks like when viewed from the top as it ages. The species name campanella refers to its bell shape when immature, that later turns upward into a trumpet shape hence its common names Bell Omphilina and Golden Trumpet. The appalachian mountains are home to over 2000 speces of fungi with seemingly infinite variety. My channel is all about learning about living things that you will find right outside your door.
