Field Notes

Description:

Brackets of up to 30mm wide. Very distinctive yellow gills with much crossing, meandering and very much darker towards the centre. Thin and leathery caps with a very dull ochre top. Caps seem to curl into wavy shapes as they get older.

Habitat:

These numbered about a dozen in a line on the side of a huge Pinus radiata log with a local nature reserve. These logs were placed in the area for landscaping purposes.

Notes:

ID as in Fuhrer (2005) #281 <br> Rarely found yet in Australia? and seemingly uncommon elsewhere. The best reference images I can find are with Renée Lebeuf from NE America. (Quebec) https://www.flickr.com/photos/21189203@N05/2200868636/in/pool-myco-queb… <br> One record exists on Atlas of Living Australia from Tasmania http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:catalogueoflife.org:taxon:4ef784… <br> Leuba and I have found it on pine logs 3 times now. My first find can be seen here http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/277976002 and includes some mycelium and development stages. <br>
