Hypholoma australianum

Hypholoma australianum is the Australasian sulphur tuft, named by Redhead in 2014 for the plants long recorded there as H. fasciculare. It is very common, forming dense clusters of yellow caps with greenish gills on dead wood and buried roots from autumn into winter; like sulphur tuft it should be treated as poisonous.
