Great, thanks. Impressive image - invertebrates have eaten most of the spores, dark slime from the specimen! Illustrates the importance of the interactions of organisms in overall biodiversity.

They're quite beautiful. I'd never seen them before in my garden.

Always exciting to find a 'new' species in your garden. Did you know that this species was the first fungus recorded for Australia. It was collected on 1 May 1792 from Recherche Bay Tasmania, just south of Hobart by Labillardiere. So historically significant fungus;)
