Field Notes

Description:

Found in the company of Pisolithus tinctorius which were very dark and shiny, this one looked very different. Pale tan colours with a distinct 'cracked' surface; about the size of a golf ball. Internals also seemed different with mostly a very fine, grey spongy mix. Some mycelium noticed at the base.

Habitat:

In a very dry area near a very wide storm water catchment area under a stand of small to medium eucalyptus.
