User's notes

Stemonitis splendens develops quickly over five or six hours changing from its white plasmodial form to pink then brown and overnight to the very dark brown as seen in the final image displayed here. The white form was collected and taken home to observe this intriguing progress. Note how this species develops in small clumps with a mutual hypothalus just visible beneath the stipes.
