On the ground. 



Hydnangium australiense often has the sterile base 

 caiTied through the gleba to the apex, assuming the 

 appearance of an obsolete stem. When this is so the 

 pileus is generally open below, exposing the gleba, 

 giving the plant all the charactei's of a Secotium.

 diameter, white to pale ochre. Peridium rather thick 

 and tough. Gleba dense, orange. ca.vities small, packed
