Original – Leotia lubrica, commonly referred to as a jelly baby, is a species of fungus in the family Leotiaceae. The species produces small fruit bodies up to 6 centimetres (2.4 in) in height, featuring a "head" and a stalk. Ochre tinted with olive-green in colour, the heads are irregularly shaped, while the stalk, of a similar colour, attaches them to the ground.

• Support. Great image. It's worth noting that in size, shape and colour, the species is fairly variable- these aren't what I'd typically imagine, but they are within the normal range. J Milburn (talk) 17:18, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
• Support, it is a good, and quite representative image of this fungus. The colour ranges from dark to light and that's good, versus like for example here - File:Leotia lubrica 57055.jpg. Hafspajen (talk) 21:19, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
