Description

Popped up in mulched soil after major soil moving and heavy mulchin in 2014. Multiple fruiting bodies in 2015, couple reappeared in 2016, nothing since (at May 2018). Have sine spoken to mushroom foragers in the area and heard of it being associated with Leucadendron coniferum habitat and near De Goede Hoop estate. Someone else mentioned a historical record from Muizenberg but I was never able to track down a reference. I've ever had my soil tested but the garden is on what was the mobile sand corridor from Fish Hoek/Clovelly in the "gap" to Noordhoek, but also has Sandstone present, so is likely a mix of soils varying across small distances.
