I ...Hi Le Loup, the short answer is apparently Yes. I haven't photographed one, nor in fact positively identified one. However, a document I have here "<a href="http://www.utas.edu.au/docs/plant_science/tasfungi/PDF%20files/Non_gilled_Basidiomycetes_PPRST2004.pdf" rel="nofollow">A preliminary census of the macrofungi of Mt Wellington, Tasmania – the non-gilled Basidiomycota</a>" clearly notes <i>Ryvardenia cretacea</i> as a species found on the mountain. The University has a lot of <a href="http://www.utas.edu.au/docs/plant_science/tasfungi/Research.html" rel="nofollow">papers and surveys at this link</a>.<br /><br />There's a photo in <b>A field guide to Australian Fungi</b> (Bruce Fuhrer, 2005) at page 273, and I am confident I have seen these. It notes they grow on Myrtle Beech (<i>Nothofagus cunninghamii</i>) and Mountain Ash (<i>Eucalyptus regnans</i>) in particular.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380216351005921687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980511014742857454.post-11078072982119788562010-06-23T06:28:00.831+10:002010-06-23T06:28:00.831+10:00Mark, does the Ryvardenia Cretacea grow in Tasmani...Mark, does the Ryvardenia Cretacea grow in Tasmania or any other tinder fungi?<br />Regards, Le Loup.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562001301604097606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980511014742857454.post-74256108604694844892010-05-27T18:50:14.164+10:002010-05-27T18:50:14.164+10:00Thanks John.

I also found a website the other day with fungi photos taken using lots of photos taken focused at different points which are then pieced together in software to give a photo which is sharp from front to back. Just can't manage that with many single shots, depending on the shape and size. Anyway, they came out OK.
