Geastrum fornicatum
''Geastrum fornicatum'', commonly known as the acrobatic earthstar or the arched earthstar, is an inedible species of mushroom in the family Geastraceae. Like other earthstar mushrooms, the thick outer skin splits open at maturity to expose the spore sac to the elements; the specific epithet ''fornicatum'' (Latin for 'arched' or 'vaulted'〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Latin Word Definition and Information for: ''fornicatus'', ''fornicata'', ''fornicatum'' -- LATdict Latin Dictionary & Resources )〕) refers to the arched shape of the rays which extend downwards to rest on the mycelial sac and elevate the spore sac.
==History==
When first described in the late 17th century, the species was called ''Fungus anthropomorphus'' due to its resemblance to the human figure. In his 1799 treatise ''Colored Figures of English Fungi or Mushrooms'', English naturalist James Sowerby wrote:So strange a vegetable has surprised many; and in the year 1695 it was published under the name of Fungus Anthropomorphus, and figured with human faces on the head. It is at first roundish; in ripening the head bursts through the two coats or wrappers; the inner wrapper, detaching itself from the outer, becomes inverted, connected only by the edges; the coats most constantly split into four parts.
