Annadel State Park, just off Lawndale Trail. In robust chaparral habitat under large power line system
Fruit bodies growing from white mycelial “cocoon” in soil under Adenostoma fasciculatum
Strange, cordyceps-like fungus with two sporocarps emerging from a white, mycelial "cocoon" buried underneath the surface of the soil. Sporocarps like little bulbous clips, covered din a white, cracking tissue. No in-tact insect body detected, but some spherical chitinous remains of what seems to be of insect origin were found
