I decided to run another contest in the “Guess the species” contest type, despite pretty few people entering the last time. In hindsight it might seem like the species was a bit tricky for those who don’t live in Fennoscandia, so this time around I will post a species that is found all over the Northern Hemisphere; both in Europe, Asia and North-America! It is also found in some places in the Southern Hemisphere, but it is not naturally occurring.
This time around the picture is of a mushroom, and judging from what I’ve seen in the #photography section of Steemit, might be something a lot of people are knowledgeable about. If you’ve been collecting mushrooms, then I’m sure you seen, picked or even eaten this, since it’s considered a very beginner-friendly mushroom!
Contest rules
- Try to correctly identify the species in the picture(s) below.
- Post the scientific (binomial) name. If you only know the local name, search for it in Google and you will find the scientific name easily.
- Only one guess per contestant. If you change your mind then edit your post, don't make a new one.
- Upvote the post before you enter. It does not matter if you use a low vote weight.
I will run the contest for 72 hours, and then I will pick a random person who guessed the correct species. The winner will receive 5SBD sent to their Steemit account. The money is provided by 
Guess the species #2
If you know some mushrooms, then this might be pretty easy for you. If you it will probably be pretty difficult. However, you do get a hint! I have written about this mushroom in the past, so if you’ve been reading my posts for a long time, then you have surely seen some information about it! Good luck!
