Description

Gyromitra esculenta. It comes up every spring next to my greenhouse in little family groups which get bigger every year. It like our sandy soil and is usually found in coniferous woodland which is what my garden once was! Another example, rather paler

Very brainy looking fungus, hope it doesn't start moving. Smiles. Looks like it should belong in a Science Lab. Awesome conversation piece, thanks for sharing Andrea.

Yikes! Well, everyone has already done the brain thing so I'll just ask, they grow bigger each year? Are you sure they aren't up to something sinister? Morels are quite values. Are these edible as well? (Sorry, I couldn't come up with a smart remark about the Morel of the story.)
