Parasitic ascomycete
Neobarya agaricola
-37.8821, 145.319
Field Notes
Description:
A fungi which appears in the form of tiny yellow spines on all surfaces of an agaric fungi. The spikes were about 1-2mm long. I suspect the mushrooms being attacked here are some mycena and were up to about 14mm wide; some much less. I originally thought the spikes to be part of the victim here but realised something was wrong when I saw them on the gills.
Habitat:
Wet, dense eucalyptus rainforest in a national park. On an old, mossy eucalyptus log.
