Field Notes
Description:
The globose to subglobose or compressed
fruitbodies of Lycogala epidendrum are at first pinkish-gray
to bright cinnabar-red when young. At this stage the flesh is
a pinkish, paste-like substance (like toothpaste?). With
maturity the fruit body becomes yellow-brown or olive-
brown and the spore mass becomes powdery and pinkish-
gray to ochre in mass.
Habitat:
sphagnum moss on a dead log, temperate forest
Notes:
I spotted these in Foping Reserve.
