This is an image of a mushroom that I have never seen on the NYBG campus as long as I\u2019ve been here (around 28 years) and I am 99.9% sure it has never before been reported here.<\/p>\n

\"Leratiomyces<\/a><\/p>\n

There are several unrelated genera of mushrooms that seem to prefer growing on wood chip mulch as a substrate and seemingly have a global distribution. Right now after the recent rains, the mushrooms that favor this artificial habitat are in nearly every flower bed on campus.<\/p>\n

The name of the mushroom is Leratiomyces ceres<\/em>, described for the first time from Australia in 1888.<\/p>\n
