When we got back to the lab at the Baudin Centre in Flinders Chase National Park (FCNP), now sadly completely razed to the ground by the 2020 bushfires, I checked the spores under the microscope and, sure enough, they were the angular spores of Claudopus (Fig. Photo: David Catcheside Figure 3: Entoloma ravinense. Figure 2: Fruit bodies of Crepidotus variabilis. Species of Crepidotus produce a brown spore print whilst that of species of Claudopus is pink. 3) that made me wonder if this was a Claudopus ra ther than a Crepidotus. 2), but there was something about the pinkish colour of the gills (Fig. The fungus is almost indistinguishable macroscopically from a common little fungus, Crepidotus variabilis (Pers.)

In 2010, when collecting fungi in the RdCWPA, we found a few fruit bodies of a pretty white, fan-shaped fungus with a short, lateral stem (Fig. We have scientific collection permits and all collections are accessioned into the State Herbarium of South Australia (AD). We have been surveying the fungi in the parks of Kangaroo Island, especially at the western end of the island in Flinders Chase National Park (FCNP) and in the Ravine des Casoars Wilderness Protection Area (RdCWPA) since 2002. ![]() One such is a group of small, almost stemless gilled fungi, in the subgenus Claudopus.
