Fruiting directly on wood, as singles and doubles. Were not clustered on one log, but on smaller bits of wood, spread through out the area, but all within approx 10 meters of each other.

Mature / old fruit bodies had rust colored gills that were uniform in color. Young fruit bodies had yellow gills and possibly 'rust spots' on them.

Pins had web / cortina present. Could not see any evidence of ring on open fruit bodies. Younger but open fruit body may have some web material on the cap edge, as there was white material present that was not on the older ones.

Location notes: Fruiting in Kauri grove area. Also had mature manuka / kanuka present and celery trees.

Been visiting this area for 6 months now as it has the only readily accessible native beech tree (yes single) within an easy drive. There has been very little fungi present, and extremely little given the large amount of manuka / kanuka growing.

This is the first patch that I have found that has made the walk worthwhile. Within a few square meters multiple different species fruiting, and shows that there is fungal diversity present.

Two sets of two fruiting bodies.

Vivid red on the inside of the fruit bodies. Outside cap and stem more dull red. Yellow edge to the cap, and gills were more deep red than dull.

Waxy feel.
