Description
This is the first time, I was able to find such mushrooms in the Deister forrests. I guess it is
earthstar "Geastrum fimbriatum" (the german name is "Gewimperter Erdstern"), but I'm not sure at all. It remembers me a little bit to a fresh opened banana. It is just shorter and has a different color. Have you ever seen such an object?
Thanks for looking and all your nice comments of "Violett mushroom"

These are very strange mushrooms indeed; my neighbours proudly showed them last week in their own garden, and they're rather weird mushrooms, very beautiful!
