Add CommentI don’t thik we did, as for DNA sequencing we don’t know of anyone in Aust.
This species is one of many that has too many names for the same specimen.

Thanks for your comments. Did you have your specimen scoped for a spore image. I am trying to find a definitive proof as you would realise. Do you know anyone who does DNA sequencing on this species.? Ta kk
This species is known by a few names as we found out last year.
It is the same as we found in NSW last year and is also called Helvella chinensis here in Australia

H. cupuliformis is an OZ sp. which looks very much like what Ian shows here.
Thanks John. I might try some o/s MO members. See what happens. Cant lose. Cheers kk
