Eyelash Dung Cups
Cheilymenia fimicola
-37.8908, 145.321
Field Notes
Description:
Less than 1mm wide this tiny yellow fungus is shaped like cups with hairs around the rim.
Habitat:
On kangaroo dung in dry sclerophyll eucalyptus forest.
Notes:
Beyond the capabilities of my pocket camera but identifying characteristics can be seen. Probably an Ascomycetes like pixie cups but much smaller. A kangaroo dung specialist? .......... as it turns out another name is "Cheilymenia coprinaria var. minima " no wonder it's so small.
