Coltricia australica
-37.9743, 145.392
Field Notes
Description:
Small polypores growing from soil; about 50mm tall and 40mm wide; dark scaly stipe; each had a tuft at it's centre like something had been torn off the top; cap highly textured with radial zonations, angular pores, and wine-glass shaped.
Habitat:
Growing among tough sword grasses in dry sclerophyll eucalyptus forest after some rains.
Notes:
Until 2012 this was called Coltricia cinnamomea. Apparently mycorrhizal... these seemed spread all over the place but eucalypts were never more than 3 metres away.... "Coltricia cinnamomea is a wood rotting fungus and grows from decaying sub-surface wood and tree roots in forests and woodland in a variety of soil and climates. Besides Australia, this small polypore is found in North America..." http://australianfungi.blogspot.com.au/2010/09/49-coltricia-cinnamomea…
