Specimen on side of walking track. The removal was not completely successful as I was unable to retrieve the complete root system due to its depth in the soil. The specimen was cut and photographed immediately after being removed from its habitat.(but not removed from the area.) The location was wet, and had some ground cover of leaves. It was a single specimen as far as I could establish. The added information to this fungi is that it is also called "Vegetable Caterpillars". The scientic name was not listed on the site so had to be created.
