But today the fringe or tufts were fully formed and pointing upwards- they weren't ragged edges of the broken cap, they were properly differentiated
Here are the collection details:
Found growing solitary on 30/5/2013 after rain, cap fully opened at 31/5
Approx GPS co-ordinates: -28.596731,153.097572
Grown on what appears to be leaf litter at a treeline in a cow paddock so unsure of substrate
Cap- 150mm light/mid brown with raised fringe edge kinda like a parasol. Really. Not broken, but actually fringed!
Really distinctive ring, kinda blobby or knobbly like Calendula seed, stained mildly yellow
Stem about 100mm
Gills blue/grey
Cap broke off during transport and no staining observed
Spores appear to be blue grey, no pics as yet
Didn't have a camera with me so I didn't get any pics in situ
I whacked some stem mycelium on an MEA + chloramphenicol plate I had sitting round, but I may have over-enthusiastically sterilised it, if it is interesting I may try to grow it on from the spore print
Pics so far- links are to thumbnails, full pics in Gallery here:
OMG I found this cute fringed mushroom after yesterdy's rain
It captured my imagination because of the entirely entertaining fringe it sports. Yesterday it looked like this ( not my pic )
