User's notes

I saw dead examples of this fungi on a different tree last year, so I'm glad I've seen fresh ones this year. They are only about 2cm2 and look like melted white chocolate! on tree trunk of gum tree. The fungi are about 10cm apart down the trunk all on the same side about 1.5m from the ground.
