Fungus - White Punk
The insect-riddled fungus brought to the August
meeting was Laetiporus portentosus.
It is also called White Punk. They are mostly on the ground rotting and full of insect holes
as they often grow in the top branches of tall Eucalypts. This one was found by Trish Gardner and Francis Mangubhai while bushwalking in
Eucalypt forest in the Hellhole Gorge area between Cunningham's Gap
and Goomburra. This website has more information.
