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

ʻO ka iʻa hōkū ʻāʻī (Geastrum striatum)

Kaha hōkū (ʻO ka t. ʻO Geastrum striated) no ka ʻohana Star. Ua loaʻa kona inoa ma muli o ke ʻano like o ka helehelena me ka hōkū nui. He ʻano ʻokoʻa kona ʻano a aneane hiki ʻole ke huikau me nā ʻano halo ʻē aʻe. No nā fungi kēia ʻano - saprotrophs, e noho ana ma ka ʻāina wao nahele a i ʻole ma nā kumu lāʻau decomposed a me nā kumu lāʻau. Hiki ia i ke kauwela a me ka hāʻule i loko o nā ululāʻau hui ʻia, nā paka a me nā māla. Makemake ʻo ia e noho ma lalo o ka ʻoka a me ka lehu. Ma waena o nā mea ʻohi ʻohi, ua manaʻo ʻia kēia ʻaha ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻai ʻia.

Aia ke kino hua o ka starfish i ka wā ʻōpiopio ma lalo o ke ʻano o ke ʻano bulbous. I ka ulu ʻana o ka haʻuki, māhā ka ʻiʻo o waho, me ke ʻano o nā lobes kiko ʻulaʻula ma ka ʻili. ʻO ka ʻāʻī paʻa o ka halo i loko o kahi ʻāpana pauka keʻokeʻo e paʻa i kahi pōpō hua me nā spores. I loko o ka pōleʻa he puka i ke ʻano o kahi stomata, i hoʻolālā ʻia e hoʻokuʻu i nā spores. Loaʻa i nā spores spherical kahi kala ʻeleʻele momona. Ma muli o ko lākou ʻili ʻili, hiki ke mālama ʻia nā spores ma ko lākou wahi ulu no ka manawa lōʻihi. He poʻo koʻikoʻi ko ka mushroom a me ka piko conical. Aia ma ka ʻili o ka honua ka ʻōpala o kēia ʻano, ʻaʻole ma lalo o ia mea. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ka ʻono a me ka ʻala o ke kino mushroom.

ʻO ka iʻa hōkū ʻōniʻoniʻo kekahi o nā halo ʻokoʻa loa o ka honua.

Ua ʻike nui ʻia e ka poʻe ʻohi halo ʻoihana, akā ʻaʻole ia e paʻi iā lākou ma muli o kona haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa. ʻAʻole i loaʻa i ka mushroom ka waiwai meaʻai, no ka mea ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻai ʻia, akā makemake nui ia i nā ʻepekema honua i komo i ke aʻo ʻana i nā ʻano like ʻole o nā halo hihiu.
