This record is indicative of how little formal reporting there has been of fungi species within the ACT and Australia more generally. This is the first record of Sulphur Tuft in the ACT according to the records of Atlas of Living Australia. There are ten records in NSW and 1169 in Tasmania. The Tassies have obviously made an effort to record fungi. Hopefully Canberra Nature Map will continue to improve the knowledge of fungi in our area

This is a wood decay fungus (sometimes growing from buried wood). With age the yellow-green gills become a dark brownish because as the spores mature they change from an initially very pale colour to a deep purple-brown. It occurs in a variety of habitats and can form very large colonies. Sometimes you see stumps covered with several hundred of these mushrooms.
