Phylloporus clelandii 1
Phylloporus clelandii is an uncommon Australian fungus related genetically to the boletes, even though they have gills, probably mycorrhizally associated with eucalypts. Caps to 200 mm, deeply convex at first, finally flattening out unevenly; yellow-brown on top, with thick flesh. Gills broad, mod. close, yellow to greenish yellow, bruising greenish-bluish-brown. Stem stout, brownish, tapering down, no ring; stem flesh bruises greenish-bluish-brown as well. NOTE: Phylloporus rhodoxanthus is similar, but has a reddish-brown to yellowish cap, often with forked gills with cross-veins. Eco Tourism track, Sanatorium Picnic Ground, Mt Macedon, 2010.
