Astraeus hygrometricus is an ectomycorrhizal fungus and grows in association with a broad range of tree species. [44] The mutualistic association between tree roots and the mycelium of the fungus helps the trees extract nutrients (particularly phosphorus) from the earth; in exchange, the fungus receives carbohydrates from photosynthesis. [38]
In this state, often the whole fungus becomes detached from the ground and may roll around like a tumbleweed. In wetter weather, the rays moisten and uncurl; some even curl backward lifting the spore sac up. This allows rain or animals to hit the spore sac, emitting spores when enough moisture is present for them to germinate and establish.

Astraeus is a genus of fungi in the family Diplocystaceae. [1] The genus, which has a cosmopolitan distribution, contains nine species of earthstar mushroom. [2] They are distinguished by the outer layer of flesh (exoperidium) that at maturity splits open in a star-shape manner to reveal a round spore sac. [3]
