Recorded by Cooke (No. 711) for Victoria. Lloyd records 

 a specimen (under Fomes martins), presumably from New 

 South Wales, forwarded by W. W. Froggatt. Lloyd has 

 identified several specimens for us. We have them from 

 the following localities: — Mount Wilson and Mount Irvine, 

 June, 1915 (applanate, about an inch thick, with a zonate 

 pileus and an orange shade under the crust); Kurrajong 

 Heights; Leura (A. A. Hamilton, September, 1912); Tug- 

 gerah Lakes (S. J. Johnston, April, 1910); Belmore Falls 

 (E.G., September, 1907); also from Russell Falls, Tasmania 

 (E.G., March, 1910).
