tmacveanDescription
Caps from .5cm to 2cm, brownish orange darkening towards grey in the centre on the cap. Margin striate. Decurrent attachment to stipe. Gills pink. Growing on decaying wood, last photo shows the log.
Look very similar to the specimens in the Tasmanian field guide p120 as Mycena lividorubra

Xylaria melanuraObserver
kallamperoDescription
This tiny, striking Xylaria species, with its nearly naked perithecia, has become the poster child for Xylariaceae research in Los Cedros. Roo and I thought they looked a bit like these in cross section:
These are Kodama, the forest spirits of Japanese folklore, as portrayed by Hayao Miyazaki in his epic 1997 film, Princess Mononoke.
This is likely the first record of X. tucumanensis from anywhere outside Argentina, and as such, significantly extends the species’ known range.
Read more about this enigmatic Xylaria and check out an extensive key to the genus for northern Argentina in the following paper:
Substrate: corticate standing dead wood (post), ~3 cm diam (same as Observation 264296)

Rickiella edulisObserver
kallamperoDescription
This striking, monotypic ascomycete almost resembles the offspring of a Phillipsia and a Favolaschia. First described as Peziza edulis by Spegazzini in 1891, it is known only from a narrow latitudinal belt spanning three distinct phytogeographical regions in central South America.
Habitat: Atlantic Paranaense forest
Substrate: on moderately- to well-decomposed, corticate and decorticate wood (though originating from beneath the cortex).
Collector: Vicky Vignale
Collection #: CIAR017
Collected during the 2015 “Curso de Identificación de Macrohongos Degradadores de Madera,” lead by Dr. Gerardo Robledo, Dr. Elisandro Ricardo Drechsler-Santos, Dr. Orlando Fabián Popoff Montañez and Nicolás Niveiro.

Uploaded on behalf of the collector, Kym Brennan
Small, fragile, 10cm tall. In leaf mould in heavy shade, lowland spring-fed monsoon forest, on drier part towards margin.
This is a normal gilled mushroom that has a very thin cap flesh, which splits radially (between the gills). Further drying lifts and twists the gill-segments into the flower shape in the image. The type specimen from Vanauatu had the same form on all fruitbodies, but the author was unsure whether this was an oddity, or the normal condition. The find of this Australian specimen shows that it is the norm, but it would be great to find young fruitbodies to understand exactly of the final form develops – at what point in development does it depart from a mushroom shape?
The species is Hausknechtia floriformis, a monotypic genus only described in 2020, with a single species described (by Anton Hausknecht) in 2003, previously only known from Vanuatu. I have been on the lookout for it, great to know it occurs in Australia too.
