Field Notes

Description:

The undersides are the same color as the upper sides. I think the undersides may have had gills. See the measurements in the picture with the ruler. They were growing on a rotting log. Fungi use spores to disperse which can be wind dispersed, helping them spread further.

Habitat:

Secondary rainforest, rotting log
