These were taken along the Bermagui-Tathra Road, just before Cuttagee (tried to mark the location but it won't let me). A solid fungus that crumbles into powder when touched. It was a good 10 cms or so in height and about the size of a softball.

This genus of fungi are renowned for pushing up through the toughest of surfaces, even tarmacs at airbases!! They often look like the dropping of some large animal. They are a mycorrhizal fungus so they will be helping and being helped by some nearby plants, most probably trees.

I'm not sure what the problem is with system not allowing you to add the location. Maybe if you contact one of the admin. people they may be able to guide you with this issue.
