Chorioactis geaster
Chorioactis geaster is found only in a few locations in Texas, where it is called the Texas star, and Japan, where it is known as kirinomitake ( キリノミタケ). The fruiting body grows as a tube, before it splits into four to seven rays, in a process called dehiscence. The inner surface is covered with spore-producing tissue called the hymenium, which can be coloured white to brown.
