This colony is probably like two or three weeks old, at least. The purple fuzz was so beautiful. They did look tasty- but you cannot eat them they’re hard. The name translates to “shelled bread.” The lat and long are not exactly accurate as my friend took the photos and the GPS metadata was probably not available in the first place because he had no signal while taking the photos. My phone had died so I couldn’t take my own photos.
