Gilled Fungi Agaricales (10 species 4 from Ellura) | Mushroom Agaricaceae (3 species 3 from Ellura) | Bird's Nest Fungus Cyathus stercoreus | Na e m | The little black seed like things in the middle are actually spore casings. And they rely on a rain drops hitting them, bouncing them out of the parent cup to spread the spores and reproduce. That's just cool. | |||

Gilled Fungi Agaricales (10 species 4 from Ellura) | Mushroom Amanitaceae (3 species 0 from Ellura) | Golden Mushroom Amanita sp | Na a |
This species is in the Grisella Group According to fia-3-basidio-agarico-I.pdf "The species in this group are difficult to separate using macroscopic features" We were able to monitor this specimen daily to record it's rapid growth, as well as see the earlier stages of the one next to it once the first was found. As such, the photo's are in chronological order. Unusually (compared to other mushrooms we've found), this one wasn't eaten by springtails. So many other species we saw one day and were gone the next. | |||

These photos are of different specimens in (what we think is) age sequence. | |||

Sebacinales (1 species 0 from Ellura) | Sebacinaceae Sebacinaceae (1 species 0 from Ellura) | Ground Hugging Fungus Sebacinaceae sp iNaturalist | Na a | Thank you Dr Tom May for identifying this species for us Dr Tom May said "This could be a Sebacina or related genus". But microscopic examination is required to differentiate |

Fungi (Fungi) - Basidio (Basidiomycota) - Rust Fungi (Pucciniomycetes) | ||||||
Rusts Pucciniales (1 species 1 from Ellura) | Bluebush Rust Aecidium (1 species 1 from Ellura) | Bluebush Rust Aecidium sp | Na e m | Thank you Dr Tom May for identifying this species for us It is growing on Rosy Bluebush (Maireana erioclada) Graham Patterson said "This is one of the spore-producing life cycle stages of a rust fungus. The different stages have in the past been given different names and this would be called a species of Aecidium. But now that the names are beginning to be sorted out this would probably be a Puccinia species." |
Fungi (Fungi) - Chytridio (Chytridiomycota) - Rust Fungi (Chytridiomycetes) | |||||||
Rusts Chytridiales (1 species 1 from Ellura) | Crowfoot Rust Synchytriaceae (1 species 1 from Ellura) | Common Crowfoot Rust Synchytrium papillatum iNaturalist | If e m |
Thank you Sofia Zvolanek for confirming the id of this species for us This rust is growing on Common Crowfoot (Erodium cicutarium) which is an introduced species. We believe each species of this type of fungus evolves to only grow on one plant species. As such, this species of fungus must also be introduced? |
Fungi (Fungi) - Zygote Fungi (Zygomycota) - Insect Pathogen (Entomophthoromycetes) | |||||||
Insect Pathogen Entomophthorales (1 species 1 from Ellura) | Entomopathogenic Entomophthoraceae (1 species 1 from Ellura) | Fly Death Fungi Entomophthora muscae iNaturalist | Na e m |
Thank you Tony and Jenny Dominelli & Dr Brian Lovett for confirming the id of this species for us |
Protozoa (Protozoa) - Amoebas (Amoebozoa) - Plasmodial Slime Molds (Myxogastrea) | |||||||
Slime Molds Liceida (1 species 0 from Ellura) | Slime Mold Tubiferaceae (1 species 0 from Ellura) | Red Raspberry Slime Mould Tubifera cf ferruginosa iNaturalist | Na a |
Thank you Teresa Van Der Heul for confirming the id of this species for us We thought someone had dropped a lolly on the ground, and it turned out to be one of the most primitive life forms we've discovered. | |||
Slime Molds Myxogastrea (1 species 1 from Ellura) | Slime Mold Myxogastrea (1 species 1 from Ellura) | Black Slime Mould Myxogastrea sp | Na e m | Thank you Teresa Van Der Heul for helping with the id of this species for us This is the only slime mould we've seen on Ellura, but until we see it again and get a microscopic examination of it, we won't be able to identify it further. Teresa said "I do not believe this is Tubulifera sp. due to the way it is dehiscencing on the right; nor do I think its Lamproderma sp. as there is no clear iridescence showing, which leaves me to think it may be a Badhamia sp. but without microscopic examination I am not prepared to name it" | |||
Slime Molds Physarida (1 species 0 from Ellura) | Slime Mold Physaraceae (1 species 0 from Ellura) | Sulphur Slime Mould Fuligo septica iNaturalist | Na a |
Thank you Terra Occ for confirming the id of this species for us As you can see from the photo's, transitioning from fruiting bodies to "dried up" is incredibly fast. 15 hours, from 19:40 one evening to 10:40 next morning. |
