Cymatoderma elegans Jungh. 1840

Description: Cymatoderma elegans Jungh. Image location: Yarrahapinni State Forest, North of Grassy Head, New South Wales, Australia One mature fungi in close proximity to juvenile. Growing on wet deadwood on Eucalyptus rain forest floor in shaded area. Both fungi were soft and slightly flexible. The main body colour was mauve becoming white towards the fingers, which also had mauve tinge on the extremities. No apparent infestation noticed. Main mature fungi was approximately 3 3/4 inches in height. The mauve area felt velvety to the touch. Slight pressure did not show immediate bruising. No other specimens located in the area. No distinctive smell. Possibly “Cymatoderma” but not certain it is “elegans Jungh.” species. I have been unable to find any images that even come close to this find especially the trunk shape and Velvet colouring. I realise from reading notes on this species that identification is difficult. I have added another image showing “finger wipe effect” on the Velvety surface. kk Recognized by sight : For more information about this, see the observation page at Mushroom Observer.

Description: Cymatoderma elegans Jungh. Image location: Swans Crossing State Forest, New South Wales, Australia These are common in the local ranges and have a long life span. Often find them with water in centre and small insects. Extrac fr Ref. B. Fuhrer. Caps or brackets to 150 mm across, somewhat polished in appearance,with radial and concentric ridging. Texture hard and woody. Stems central or lateral, dark brown, velvety. The white, pored undersurface rapidly turns dark reddish brown when bruised. Expanding fruit bodies frequently envelop grass and twigs. Found near decaying stumps and buried wood. Spores c. 9 × 7 Micro-m, ovoid, finely dotted. Spore print brownish yellow. Recognized by sight: Amauroderma rude is a polypore that stains reddish then black, II’ll post a picture. check http://fungimap.rbg.vic.gov.au/fsp/sp066.html Used references: Fungimap, A Field Guide to Australian Fungi, by Bruce Fuhrer : For more information about this, see the observation page at Mushroom Observer.
