Field Notes
Description:
Crust fungi. Very clearly defined margins. Brownish orange with white margins. Tooth-like pore surface. A wood-rotting or white-rot fungi. At first I thought is was paint on the log. I don't know if it has a common name.
Habitat:
This spotting was at Ravensbourne National Park, at an elevation above 500 mtrs. Dense foliage and canopy, mostly native trees that I could see. Lots of leaf litter and quite damp due to recent rains or thick mist. Soft, filtered light. This spotting was on a sawn-down tree.
