Amauroderma rude

Description:

There are two species of Amauroderma known to be in Queensland - A. rude and A. rugosum. According to Cunningham, A. rude has the much larger pores of the two. This particular fungus had very coarse-looking pores, so it's a good bet that it's Amauroderma rude.In this photo, which is looking down at the top of the typically very dark-coloured cap, you can see how the fungus has grown around a stick and a bracken stem.
