You never know when you’re going to stumble into a Sarlacc pit… I mean, stumble upon a mushroom you’ve never found before.

Here’s Turbinellus kauffmanii (likely a species complex). No common name. But really, Sarlacc pit should be considered, right?

Two funnel shaped mushrooms coming up from the forest floor. They are about four inches high, several inches wide, and are four inches apart from each other. The “stem” or underside of the mushroom is a wrinkled cream color texture. The inner part of the mushroom can be seen at the top, or opening is spotted with giraffe colors - tan and brown.
Top down view of a palm-sized mushroom cap that is tan, white and brown with a funnel structure that means there is a dark hole going downward in the center of the cap. Bordering the hole are jagged, toothy growths that give the mushroom cap a maw-like appearance. Similar to the Sarlacc pit in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. You know, the thing that belches after swallowing Boba Fett.
