    I grabbed a sample. I want to see if I can make a side from it.

  That’s awesome (and disturbing!) How do you tell the difference between this and club fungi?

    One way is to do a little digging – you’ll often be able to find the insect it’s growing out of :)

    Haha, I’m not sure. I had someone there that knew the species.
