User's notes
These were taken along the Bermagui-Tathra Road, just before Cuttagee (tried to mark the location but it won't let me). A solid fungus that crumbles into powder when touched. It was a good 10 cms or so in height and about the size of a softball.

This genus of fungi are renowned for pushing up through the toughest of surfaces, even tarmacs at airbases!! They often look like the dropping of some large animal. They are a mycorrhizal fungus so they will be helping and being helped by some nearby plants, most probably trees.
