The fungi in this group produce fruitbodies with pores on the underside of the cap. Mostly the pores are roughly circular but in some species they are elongated.

Hi Teresa, thanks for all the moderation, yes, I only recall one specimen. I’ll have to learn about fungi features. Currently I’m enthralled by the surprising colours and shapes, so can’t note anything other that what shows up in the photos.

No, I didn't want to disturb/touch it (first time I've seen this type). Yes, it might be something parasitic - it was not "fungal material" - more like a frothy mold or mildew
Bolete sp.

Lovely specimen but I can't go further than Bolete sp - was it just a single specimen and did you note any other features such as bruising or stem features?
