Field Notes

Description:

Delicate looking pure white brackets with soft textured grey tops and toothed underneath. Up to approx. 20mm wide. Surprisingly 'rubbery' to touch.

Habitat:

Very tall and dense eucalyptus forest. On the base of a eucalyptus within a very moist gully.

Notes:

My first find of a toothed variety. Also known as toothed jelly.
