Description
Clusters of the cheerful hypholoma brunneum (Hypholoma brunneum) erupt from decaying piles of wood in autumn. The intricate spotting and coloration of the cap make it an incredibly photogenic mushroom to come upon, so keep your camera handy if you're mushroom hunting in New Zealand! This species has found its way off of the island nation only to become invasive in Tasmania, where it was a huge problem for commercial nurseries.
