Grifola colensoi
Grifola colensoi
-37.8881, 145.356
Field Notes
Description:
An inter-connected stack of black, very velvety fungi with creamy, toothy surface underneath. The tops were unusual each with a central depression containing crumbly tar-like substance. Each top part was about 30mm across and the whole stack was about 400mm tall. The colour in these pictures seems wrong, or flattened by the flash and was actually very black (where it may appear brownish here) to the human eye.
Habitat:
At the base of a large eucalyptus (E.regnans) in a deep, wet gully. This is within a very tall damp eucalyptus based rain forest.
Notes:
What does it mean when the main references have the species listed but each of them has no further information ??
Lovely things to touch. Species ID from Bruce Fuhrer 2005
Not sure what the tar-filled centres mean - like little black jam tarts.
