User's notes

There were a few of these around, but unlike other mushrooms, they tended NOT to group together. They were more dispursed and only one body at a time.

In Lichenomphalia chromacea the fruit body produced by the fungal partner in the lichen is a mushroom that appears on soil. The algae partner appears as the green mat on which the mushroom is growing
