The subterranean branched specimen with at least two visible crowns in the background does not appear to appear consistent with X. australis.

I wonder if this is Pseudoinonotus australiensis (previously in Inonotus, the change in 2022). I’ve seen it just once when I collected it in the Gloucester area of NSW. If you look at the GBIF results for this species (https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?taxon_key=2521228) you’ll see that they record only seven other collections, held at the Oslo fungarium. Of course there are probably more elsewhere that either don’t get into GBIF or are misidentified. When I collected mine I assumed it was a large Coltricia. Here (https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/4422619303) you can see a photo of an isotype collection. In this species the underside is not white when fresh and it doesn’t bleed red if you run your fingernail across it.

Quite a slender trunk compared to those on Brown Mountain and in the ACT (and indeed, one self planted specimen in my garden in Tura Beach). I've seen similar forms at Crystal Creek in NE NSW that keyed out to C. australis, but I wonder if they are the same as the more robust form.

These are a mycorrhizal fungus therefore will be associated with one or more nearby trees. I tend to find them associated with the Turpentine tree (Syncarpia glomulifera). Always an exciting find.

Hi Jackie, its quite common at this time of the year, on all sorts of poop, but it is very small, about 1 – 3 mm. tall
I think this is Pilobolus crystalinus, species to be clarified by the herbarium, and I have now found 4 species over the years on possum, macropod, wombat and rabbit. Because its difficult to see in the field, I often bring the poop home and see what I can grow in moist chambers. LOL, pots of poop everywhere......

Pilobolus sp.
