Gummiglobus
Genus of fungi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gummiglobus is a genus of truffle-like fungi in the Mesophelliaceae family.[1] The genus contains two Australian species described as new to science in 1996. The species, G. agglutinosporus and G. joyceae, "have columellae with wedge-shaped to digitate or strand-like projections that extend to the endocutis of the peridium and are embedded in a remarkable gummy tissue".[2]
