Hypocrea victoriensis 1
Hypocrea victoriensis, previously known by the Northern Hemisphere name Hypocrea sulphurea, forms patches or cushions of lemon yellow to ochre tissue up to 0.5 mm thick, on bare dead wood which is devoid of bark, with visible little dark spots, which are the ostioles, openings from which the ascospores are released. It is a wood-rotting ascomycete, and might even colonize certain other fungi. Doctor's Creek walking track, Reefton, 2009.
