Kiʻi a me ka wehewehe ʻana i ka iʻa hōkū ʻeleʻele (Geastrum melanocephalum).

ʻEleʻele ʻeleʻele Starfish (Geastrum melanocephalum)

ʻO ke kino hua ʻōpiopio he spherical, ʻano pear a i ʻole bulbous, 4-7 cm ka nui, me kahi spout koi a hiki i 2 cm ka lōʻihi, ke kala mai ke keʻokeʻo a ʻeleʻele. ʻO Exoperidium (ka ʻili waho) i hui pū ʻia me ka endoperidium (ka ʻili o loko). ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona koʻikoʻi ka luku ʻana i ka endoperidium i ka wā o ka makua, ma muli o ka hōʻike ʻana o ka gleba. Hiki iā ia ke hoʻomohala ma ka honua a puka i kahi hapa ma luna o ka ʻili. I ka oʻo ʻana, ʻāhaʻi ka ʻiʻo o waho e like me ka hōkū i 4-6 (5-7) lobes (he 14 mau lobes) e hoʻolaha ʻia ma ka lepo a i ʻole e hoʻokiʻekiʻe i kahi gleba spherical ma luna o ka honua.

E like me ke kapa ua nui, hiki ke helu ʻia ma ke ʻano he "meteor".

ʻO ka pulp ka mea i hoʻomaka mua ʻia, ʻo ia ka capillium a me nā spores, ʻoiai ʻo ia ka pala, fibrous liʻiliʻi, pauka, ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele. Hoʻoikaika ʻo Capillium (nā pulu lahilahi) i ka wehe ʻana o ka nui o ka spore, a ʻo kona hygroscopicity ke kumu o ka neʻe ʻana a paipai i ka pipi ʻana o nā spores.

HABITAT

Ke ulu nei ka ʻōpala ma nā lepo humus i nā ululāʻau deciduous, nā kāʻei o ka nahele o ka maple, ka lehu, ka ʻūhini meli, nā paka nahele, a me nā māla. ʻAʻole ʻike pinepine ʻia a ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī ma nā wahi me kahi ea wela, ma nā ulu lāʻau deciduous, nā paka a me nā māla, ʻaʻole pinepine i nā ululāʻau coniferous. Loaʻa ia ma nā ululāʻau o ʻEulopa, a me nā ululāʻau mauna o Central Asia. E hoʻomaopopo ʻaʻole puʻunaue ʻia kēia ʻano i ka ʻākau loa. Ma ʻEulopa Komohana, ʻike wale ʻia ma Hungary, Kelemānia, Austria, Switzerland. Ma ka ʻāpana ʻEulopa o ko mākou ʻāina, hele ʻo ia i ka ʻākau ma mua o ka ʻāina ʻo Moscow. Kakaʻikahi ka ʻike.

NA ANO ANO

Ma muli o ka nui, olohelohe, pōpō huluhulu o ka ʻāpana hua, ʻaʻole i ʻaʻahu ʻia i ka ʻaoʻao o loko o ka pūpū, ʻaʻole hiki ke huikau ka hōkū honua poʻo ʻeleʻele me nā ʻano hōkū honua ʻē aʻe.
