Weraroa virescens

"Blue Pouch Fungus"

A pale blue colour, with a slippery surface.

Overall size - 5-7 cm.

These Weraroa fungi, they often appear to have been nibbled by some small animal - perhaps a snail or insect.

The pouch doesn't open to release the spores (a feature described as secotioid), so perhaps these fungi are dependent on small animals to release their spores.
