New species - Collared Earth Star

I do not often see Earthstars so I was surprised to find more than a dozen Collared Earthstars (Geastrum triplex) close to where the new hedge had been planted. Whether the spores came in with the hedging, or more likely, fruiting was encouraged by the disturbance of the planting, I can't say. They are often found in drier situations as will occur under a hedge. The genus Geastrum are related to Stinkhorns with a similar 'egg' that develops into the strange fruiting body looking like some alien lifeform.
