		<description><![CDATA[In the summer of 2006, I discovered these dried out and weirdly alien-looking Earthstar (Geastrum sp.) fungi under an oak tree in an oak-juniper woodland south of Tucson, Arizona.

An Earthstar, also known as an Earth Star Mushroom, splits open into numerous starlike rays when it rains, revealing its round, spore-filled inner sack and ejecting its [...]]]></description>
