    What a beauty. Did you extricate the victim? (Supposedly an Oxycanus spp parasite)
    Bill Leithead says C.gunnii and C.hawkesii are now regarded as synonymous and ALA has no hawkesii.     Posted 9 years ago, modified 9 years ago

      No, I had no idea what it was at the time. This location is near the birdsnest fungi we discovered at Montrose Oval all that time ago. Posted 9 years ago

        I have created C.gunnii if you want to go with that. I'm still looking for further info re synonymy Posted 9 years ago
