- Phallus indusiatus complex volva and stem transect
Check out this minimalist stem structure of this member of the Phallus indusiatus complex. Also visible is the volva that seems dull orange - brownish. This might be a still undescribed species close to Ph. indusiatus, that was originally described in Suriname, but has a white veil and volva. This stinkhorn has a pale yellow veil when unfolding that seems white with maturity and also adarkish volva. - Phallus indusiatus seen in Mani, Casanare
Interesting to see how the veil irregularly unfolds in the left specimen. - Xylaria row in Mani
Xylaria sp. covered in white anamorphic spore-like conidiospores - Xylaria tentacula seen in Mani, Casanare

- Bresadolia paradoxa, formerly also known as Polyporus udus seen in Yopal
- Bresadolia paradoxa growing in Yopal. When it was still known as Polyporus udus I really enjoyed eating it in the Bolivian Amazon. However, specimen was slightly bitter after we fried it.
Bresadolia paradoxa was described from the Brazilian Atlantic forest. Bresadolia uda, first described as Polyporus udus is native in SE Asia.
