Some great images of one of our most striking and largest mushrooms.

By any chance did you notice the species of tree that were growing nearby please?

Sorry, I did not notice the nearby trees. Next time I am in Tidbinbilla I'll go and have a look, I may have to take pictures as my tree identification skills are very low.

Thanks for that. Photo might be helpful, only if you're going out there and have the time.
