\u2022 Darwin’s fungus
\n\u2022 Pan de indio, Hongo de Darwin

<\/p>\n

Cyttaria darwinii growing as a parasite on \u00d1ire or Antarctic Beech (Nothofagus antarctica).
\nThe fruiting bodies, or reproductive structures, of C. darwinii are vivid orange or whitish globes, described by Darwin as \u201cthe colour of the yolk of an egg\u201d, with varying sizes \u201cfrom that of a bullet to that of a small apple\u201d. They grow from the host beech in groups off of stems. These golf ball-like fruiting bodies have mucous-like fluid inside that dries as the balls age.<\/p>\n
