Field Notes
Description:
Deep brown velvet discs with pale thin margins and a dark woody stipe. The caps had a central depression with the satiny hairs arranged in concentric rings on the surface. The largest of caps were about 30mm wide.
The underside showed large pores and was stained a yellow-brown, the colour of spores.
Habitat:
Spotted amongst damp decaying leaf debris along the edge of a walking track. The track was in a nature reserve with mixed native trees.
Probably arising from decaying subsurface wood.
Notes:
A mycorrhizal Polypore. Have been wanting to spot these for a long time now !
