When: 2008-05-09
Collection location: Jalisco, Mexico [Click for map]

Notes: The mycelium from these edible Agaricus mushrooms makes the grass grow better by giving it nutrients and water, allowing areas where mycelium is growing to be clearly seen! Mushrooms fruit in fairy rings at the edges of the green circles.
