Starfish mitsetse (Iye t. Geastrum striated) ndeyemhuri yeNyeredzi. Yakawana zita rayo nekuda kwekufanana kwakasimba muchitarisiko nenyeredzi huru. Iyo ine chimiro chakasarudzika zvekuti hazvigoneki kuisanganisa nemamwe marudzi ehowa. Iyi mhuka ndeyefungi - saprotrophs, inogara paivhu rerenje kana pamakumbo akaora uye matanda emiti. Inoitika muzhizha uye matsutso mumasango akasanganiswa, mapaki nemapindu. Inofarira kugara pasi pemuouki nemadota. Pakati pevanotora howa, howa uhwu hunoonekwa sehusingadyike.
Muviri we fruiting weiyo mitsetse starfish paudiki unowanikwa pasi pevhu nenzira ye bulbous shape. Sezvo fungus ichikura, goko rehowa rekunze rinotsemuka, nekuonekwa kwemavara akanongedza ekrimu pamusoro. Mutsipa wakaoma wehowa mumucheka muchena wehupfu unobata bhora remichero rine spores. Mubhora mune gomba mune fomu ye stomata, yakagadzirirwa kusunungura spores. Spherical spores ine ruvara rwakapfuma rwebrown. Nekuda kwechimiro chavo cheganda, spores inogona kuchengetwa panzvimbo yavo yekukura kwenguva yakati rebei. Howa hune musoro wegranular uye conical mitsetse muromo. Iyo fungus mumhando iyi iri pamusoro penyika, uye kwete tsika pasi payo. Muviri wehowa hauna kuravira uye kunhuwa.
The striped starfish ndohumwe hwehowa gumi husina kujairika munyika.
Hunozivikanwa kune nyanzvi dzekunhonga howa, asi kashoma kuvarova nekuda kwekudzikira kwahwo. Iyo howa haina kukosha kwekudya, sezvo isingadyike, asi iyo inofadza zvikuru kune masayendisiti enyika inobatanidzwa mukudzidza kwekusiyana kwemazuva ano kwehowa dzomusango.
