Cool. I don't remember, were there mushrooms/toadstools in the desert?

Popular answer, no.

However, there is one, Astraeus hygrometricus, commonly known as the hygroscopic earthstar. These mushrooms are commonly found in the Upland Sonoran Desert and into chaparral habitat.

The tough outer cortex that forms the star is tough enough to persist for some years. North American sources describe A. hygrometricus as being of either unknown edibility or too tough to be edible.

Thanks, Wayne.
I have never seen any like that.
That may be the only kind found in the Sonoran Desert ?
I would not have that as a mushroom if I had seen any.
