Poronia erici
Small ( 6mm wide) flat pale discs with tapering bases seen on herbivore dung pellet ( possibly Kangaroo) The pale surfaces had minute evenly spaced holes (ostioles) - some of them showed puckering around the edges. The discs had irregular margins.
Spotted in a national park which is a free range for kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and rabbits. ( Churchill National Park)
Known for breaking down marsupial scats.
A surreal experience today. Set out to see this uncommon fungi and after checking millions of pellets, and passing one small grazing kangaroo, found one studded with fungi !! Something I've wanted to see for ages, so was very exciting
Family: Xylariaceae
