Heterotextus miltinus

Description:

Deep yellow folded discs about 12mm each diameter on the side of a very old eucalyptus stick.

Habitat:

Suburban hospital grounds under a mixture of eucalyptus and introduced tree species.

Notes:

Heterotextus (miltinus or peziziformis) - microscopic examination required to determine the species for sure but militinus is said to grow to 10mm and peziziformis up to 5mm. These ones were probably struggling from a short dry spell.
