Great! First recording of a 'fire-responsive' ascomycota. A cup or disc fungus. I think it belongs to the genus Peziza though am checking on it. Will get back to you, hopefully with something more definite. Well done.

oh, Ok I will have a scratch about. They do seem to be kind of growing in a row. I'll get back to you today or tomorrow.

Oops sorry about that. A sclerotia is a mass of sterile fungal tissue that is a resting stage for the fungus until conditions are suitable for the fungus to send up it's reproductive structure. With these 'fire responsive fungi' the pulse of heat and possiblly the chemical changes in the soil resulting from a fire trigger this response. The sclerotia, depending on the species, may range from what appears to be a thickened root to a small potatoe to a much larger structure - even as large as a small football!!

I was thinking they might be a little bit little. There was one that had started to grow but it was around a leaf and a little misinformed. I am happy to continue to take photos of them as I visit the site most days. I am also happy to scratch around the base and look for sclerotia, but I do not know what that is. If you tell me I will look.
thanks Tanya
