Hi there, hoping someone can please help me ID this guy. Found on fallen manuka in dry lowland scrub on North GBI. About the size of a small ping pong ball. There were two more on the same log.
Hi Try the NatureWatch site as well. There are several fungi experts who use that site and should be able to help.
This is a species of Stemonitis. What you are seeing is the reproductive phase of a slime mould See http://naturewatch.org.nz/observations/1348470 and http://naturewatch.org.nz/observations/8652149
