PFLHI003 - 2 reproductive bodies of fungus Secotium fragariosum however collector's observation is that this fungus other than colour is very similar structurally, if not the same, as Coprinopsis pulchricaerulia (named in 2022).

Specimen 1 - Pouch like fungus stipe intact. Pink to red cap of mature body 17mm x 12mm (no a regular circle), height 10mm. White stipe approx 17mm from wood to where it joins cap - assessed as pouch hides join on cap. Very fragile thinner where it joins cap. Gills white staining to pale pink with age, tightly packed and undulating. Cap velvety texture. Odour strongly mushroom-like.
Specimen 2 - Pouch like mushroom. Detached from substrate when found. Stipe missing. Pink to red cap of mature body 21mm x 19mm (not a regular circle), height 10mm. Height ranges from 15mm-8mm. Cap velvety texture.
