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.

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;)
