Notes:
Not sure on this one. All I can say was the exterior was VERY tough to penetrate. I wasn’t even sure it was a mushroom to be honest, but it was way to light to be a rock :)

Add Comment… Estrada-Torres et al., (2005). “The myxomycete genus Schenella: morphological and DNA sequence evidence for synonymy with the gasteromycete genus Pyrenogaster” Mycologia 97(1):139-49 at http://www.cybertruffle.org.uk/...
Found it in MD as you suggested. First type of this kind of find for me!
An old name is Radiigera atrogleba and it’s in Mushrooms Demystified by Arora
I can’t seem to find any info on this species available on the web, and they won’t let me get past the first page of your reference online either.
Do you have any links, or copy/paste text? :)
A myxomycete that became a truffle! Well, sort of….
Good detective work Robert.
