User's notes
Observation date was 18 October, I don't know why that isn't picked up, never had a problem with that before. The extremely deep "incision" in the hood and the converging arms had me confused, unfortunately it was windy so I didn't get any other decent pictures.

The column has been damaged and that is the key ID feature. If I had to guess, T.peniculata
