Mushroom Jelly
Rhopilema verrilli
Rhopilema verrilli (class Scyphozoan) is the scientific name for the mushroom jellyfish, or mushroom cap jellyfish. They are cnidarian invertebrates distinguished by their mushroom-shaped medusae. The species does not have any tentacles; however, they still have stinging cells, called nematocysts, within their bells, which can produce mild stings to humans.
