Rhizopogon Luteolus
A somewhat spherical shaped fungus, it resembles a potato however is not nearly as firm. May give some resistance when squeezed but not too much. Cavity inside reveals a spongy interior with olive-brown 'powder'.
Embedded into the ground, into a good layer of composing leaf-litter of a variety of native trees, including banksia, allocasurina and melaleuca.

Thats a great spotting Justin
I don't think it is edible! I was not game enough to try it!
Hi Justin,
What you wrote was cool. Is it edible though?
