?Marasmius graminum
-37.8821, 145.319
Field Notes
Description:
Small, orange, fluted caps on wiry stems, gradually darkening to the base. Each cap was about 5mm across. They were growing from an old blade of grass.
Habitat:
Wet eucalyptus based rainforest in a national park. Grass blade might have been gahnia sp.? (sword grass)
Notes:
This species very much resembles Marasmius siccus seen here http://www.howardbirds.org/fungi_book/Gilled/Marasmius-Mycena/Marasmius… but as M.siccus is not recorded in Australia and this one is growing from a sinescent grass blade it should be Marasmius graminum. Comments more than welcome !! <br>
