Dermocybe austroveneta
Dermocybe austroveneta, the green dermocybe is an inedible gilled fungus which naturally occurs in south eastern Australia particularly in Victoria and Tasmania and typically in eucalypt forests or woodlands. It is very common in the National Parks around Sydney and Barrington Tops, New South Wales, especially in June and July.
Dermocybe austroveneta are smooth with a convex or flat cap which can be up to 16cm across. They have yellowy brown gills underneath the cap. The pigment has been isolated and described as Austrovenetin.
Dermocybe austroveneta are described in many books as Cortinarius austrovenetus (described by Cleland in 1928). Along with many other members this been split off the huge genus Cortinarius to the newer genus Dermocybe, commonly called Skin-heads (derived from the dermocybe).
