Found only in two locations (Texas and Japan), the Texas Star is an extremely rare species of fungus. It has the appearance of a dark brown cigar-shaped capsule that transforms into a tan-colored star when it splits open to release its spores. It is also one of only a few known fungi that produce a distinct whistle sound when releasing its spores.
