Thank you Andrew Allanson for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Adelaide Hills and elsewhere This is the only specimen of this species we've found so far, but it fruited well so we suspect another nearby. It is well protected under a Sugarwood, surrounded by dead/fallen Callitris branches. As such it's well shaded from the sun and wind; which it seems to thrive on. | |||||
