Field Notes

Description:

A large bolete with gold coloured gills! 200mm across. Brown-olive smooth leathery top almost flat when mature. Stipe thick, fibrous pale tan, slightly bulbous near base. Gills yellow, dense, slightly decurrent, notably with crossed veins.

Habitat:

Dry open eucalyptus dominated highway median strip. This specimen might have been associated with the roots of a very close E.microcarpa? which was about 2 metres away.

Notes:

Being a bolete these actually haves pores which are found on the surface of the gills !! P.clelandii is related to a northern hemisphere version P.rhodozanthus associated with introduced species of trees. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/25878058
