Giant bolete row
Phlebopus marginatus
-37.9158, 145.272
Field Notes
Description:
This amusing line of bolete mushrooms were just young ones. There were 10 all up in a perfect line (following the artificial contour of a roadside ditch) Each about 300mm wide and all in good condition except for one which had suffered some larvae damage (beetle, or fly love this species)
Habitat:
Outer suburban roadside ditch.
Notes:
These can grow to 900mm wide under the right conditions but usually they get eaten by grubs before that stage... here's a big one I found last year http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8509306
