The picture was taken in the Escazu Mountain Range at an altitude of about 2000 m.a.s.l. during the middle point of the rainy season in the area. The little red thing at the bottom is a Victorinox Swiss Champ knife, the shroom is about 25-30 cm tall and there was one in the bush even taller.

The lighting is not the best but we are in the rainy season here in Costa Rica, this butterfly was happily pollinating this asteraceae flower and allowed me to squeeze several shots, the best of which I uploaded. The butterfly is some 3 cm across.

This if not being used as such could be the food of the future. It grows in the undergrowth of forested areas in Costa Rica and for this reason it does not require the clearing of forests to grow these grains. A lower taxon will be appreciated.
