LOCAL NOTES

This is an invasive introduced species and although it is identified here, we should generally steer clear of it to avoid spreading pores around.

“Favolaschia calocera is an invasive ‘weedy’ wood decomposing fungus that has been spreading rapidly in Australia since the 1990's. It is a threat to the diversity of indigenous fungi as it inhabits a broad range of substrates from twigs up to large logs. It also out competes native wood rotting fungi that help with nutrient cycling.”
