Field Notes
Description:
This aged mushroom had a cap about 70 mm wide. The cap had flat scales with patches of universal veil attached to it. Gills were the same colour as the cap. A smooth skirt-like annulus was seen attached to the stipe (stem), very close to the gills (Pic 3). <br>
Stem was smooth with a bulbous base (pic 5).
Pic 1 also shows a couple of fungus flies resting on the cap which showed signs of being demolished by some hungry insect/insects.
Habitat:
Spotted under eucalytpus trees in a nature reserve. The area had just been burnt by a grass fire. There was some moisture on the ground.
