These specimens featured in https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4438083. The inset at the lower left of the second photo shows spores. The spores are ornamented by fairly high, curved ridges, which sometimes create an almost net-like covering. Both halves of that inset show the same group of spores. In the left half the focus is on a plane that goes through the middle of most of the spores, to show how far the ornamentation extends beyond the body of the spore. In the right half the focus is on the upper surfaces of the spores, to show the meandering ridges. The spores range from 6.4 to 8 micrometres in diameter (including the ornamentation) or 4-5 micrometres (excluding the ornamentation).
