These photos show various fruit bodies in one herbarium collection. The specimens were dried and so you see some wrinkling. However, this is also how you would see them in dry conditions in the wild. Photo 1 shows several fruit bodies with the covering epiphragm still intact and two fruit bodies, open with the ‘egg-like’ peridioles visible. In Photo 2 the arrow points to the woolly, yellow-brown outer surface. The upper-left inset in Photo 3 shows three old fruit bodies in which new fruit bodies are in various stages of development – very rudimentary in 1, further advanced in 2 and filling the old fruit body in 3. In the last you see two new fruit bodies, there being a diagonal boundary (sloping down towards the right) between the two. The upper arrow in the main picture points to four new fruit bodies developing within an old one. The lower arrow points to an ejected peridiole (and in the shadows to its left there is another). In the upper right inset the white you see what would be the peridioles’ lower sides while in the fruit body and the white attachment points.
