Field Notes
Description:
Growing on the base of a huge eucalyptus these were covered in small pale spines when young but as they get older the spines become smaller flakes and eventually disappear. The largest caps were about 25mm across.
Habitat:
In a local reserve containing both endemic and exotic species of trees.
Notes:
These remind me of 2 others... Psathyrella echinata and Mycena nargans. Also see Neobarya agaricola here http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/259046020 <br>
