Growing along a council verge. Last rain was about 4 days ago, but there had been heavy rain the week prior. This specimen has only emerged in the last few days.

KOH test: no change on top of cap. Areas that stained blue turned a dark yellow within ~5 sec. Outter surface of stipe slightly reactive, but not very noticeable after 10 min.

Microscopy images:
First two are in water at 100X, taken from the pore surface.
Last two photos are 400x magnification in water, taken from the upper part of the stipe near where it connected to the cap. Did not notice any spores in the sections I took of the pores, but was able to find basidia and spores decorating the outer surface of the stipe. Will need to confirm with more imaging.

Rapid blue bruising when cap and stem are scratched or cut.
Two fruiting bodies connected at the base of the stem. Cap compact, robust, pale brown with reddish hue at the top; underneath yellow; diam. 11cm and 13cm. Stem reticulated.

Cryptobasidiaceae fungus producing galls on fruits of Cinnamomum oliveri. Fruits enlarged and deformed, interior firm textured strongly aromatic with Cinnamomum oliveri volatile oils. Outer surface powdery chalky whitish-yellow tinted

Drepanoconis nesodaphnes (Berk. & Br.) J. Walker, comb. nov.

Galls produced in fruit of host plant, converting the whole fruit into a firm woody gall, 2-3 cm diam. with a dark brown firm interior and an outer, pale fawn, felted powdery layer composed of fungal threads and spores and clusters of host cells. In section, the hyphae are seen to push up in bundles between the plant cells and these tufts form an almost continuous layer over the outside of the gall, and give rise to the spores (Fig. 12).
Hyphae between host cells thin, hyaline, 2 µm diam. giving rise to wider (2-5 µm) branched hyphae in the outer layer. Some of these hyphae give rise to spores whilst others grow on into long (250-300 µm or more) sterile threads, 2-4 µm wide, non-septate or occasionally very sparsely septate, often with a thick wall and very narrow lumen (less than I µm), sometimes with thinner walls, occasionally branched, some with Y-shaped branching at their distal end (Fig. 13). Sporogenous hyphae shorter, 40-50 µm long, appearing to give rise to a terminal spore and then perhaps proliferating sympodially to produce a second spore.
Spores (Figs 14 and 15) hyaline, oval to narrowly pyriform to clavate or obclavate, (13-)15-28(-30) X (6 5-)9-13(-14) µm in the type, (13-)15-33(-35) X (7-)9-12(-13) µm in DAR 40071, a few abnormally large spores to 42 X 18 µm seen (less than I% of the total) and occasionally abnormal X- and Y-shaped spores present. The spores have a finely roughened wall 4-5 µm thick and a thin central lumen 2-3 µm wide (but see below), usually with one central septum, but spores with 2-3(-4) septa also seen, straight or slightly curved, sometimes slightly constricted centrally, with a distinct basal scar I ·5-2 µm diam. which has a central pore and a surrounding thickened refringent ring, often with a short pedicel to 3-4 µm long.
Melampsora nesodaphnes was described by Berkeley and Broome (1882) from a
collection on Beilschmiedia obtusifolia (F. Muell. ex Meissn.) F. Muell. sent to them from Brisbane by F. M. Bailey. Subsequently, R. T. Baker found the same fungus on Cinnamomum oliveri F. M. Bail. in New South Wales.

Seen today. Growing in leaf litter. Cap slimy. Scent pleasant, slightly lemony. (I accidentally touched my face with the mushroom - slight irritation now felt on my face. - I’ve washed my face and hands of course!). Annulus visible and above the ground. Stipe and annulus solid (not hollow). Making spore print.
