Marasmiellus candidus

Marasmiellus candidus

Description:

Very elegant looking all-white mushrooms like delicate white parachutes. Stipes about 25mm long initally horizontal then vertical; same measure across the pileus.

Habitat:

Stacked on the side of a southern beech within tall eucalyptus forest.

Notes:

The pink colouring is on the top of the highest pileus in the group shot. The pink is not fully explained but it's possible that comes with age. Also a link between this fungus, algae and/or possible lichenisation. ?

I think you might be right arlanda. I found evidence of that species around here. I think I'll go with it. There's an interesting link to algae and lichens also.

Thanks arlanda - now to try to ID it.
Looks like Clive's had enough. A pity his comments and suggestions disappeared too.
