  • Orange Faint Foot Mushroom (Heimiomyces tenuipes). Batang Ai, Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • A cluster of large mushrooms (Armillaria sp.) emerges from the forest floor in Maliau Basin Conservation Area in northern Borneo. Parasitic on woody plants, Armillaria fungi can spread over large areas and be fatal to many tree species. Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Mushrooms (Amanita virgineoides). Tanjung Datu National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • The luminescent nature of a cluster of seemingly ordinary mushrooms (Favolaschia manipularis) becomes revealed in the darkening dusk of the Borneo rainforest. Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Unidentified mushrooms. Danum Valley Conservation Area, Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • It is probable that the luminescent quality of these small mushrooms (Favolaschia manipularis) serve to attract nocturnal insects which will aid in spore dispersal. Bako National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • There is a magic moment that exists between the end of day and the fall of night - in the Bornean rainforest this is signaled by the wailing of cicadas, with the deepening darkness abruptly revealing many things that were unseen in the light. Here, a cluster of Luminous Porecaps (Favolaschia manipularis) begin to show their innate greenish glow at dusk. It is believed that this bioluminescence plays a role in spore dispersal: in the still air of the rainforest understory these mushrooms gain and advantage by having wood-feeding insects (which are attracted to their light) carry the spore to new locations. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Not all mushrooms have gills, as a view from underneath these delicate pore fungi (Favolaschia pustulosa) reveals. This species is widespread in Southeast Asia on decaying wood. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Luminous Porecap (Favolaschia manipularis), releasing spores. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld2112938.jpg
  • Fairy Inkcap (Coprinellus disseminatus). Mulu National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Cup-fungus (Cookeina tricholoma). Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1303088.jpg
  • Cup fungi (Cookeina sp.). Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1913021.jpg
  • Veiled Stinkhorn (Phallus indusiatus). Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1700110.jpg
  • A Cage Fungus (Pseudoclathrus cylindrosporus) grows in the rich decaying humus of Mount Kinabalu's montane rainforest. Flies, which are attracted to the strong putrid odor, disperse the spores which are found in a brown slime secreted on the inner surface of the receptaculum. Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Veiled Stinkhorn (Phallus indusiatus). Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1700103.jpg
  • The haunting hollow skeleton of a fly is all that remains after being consumed alive by a parasitoid fungi (Ophiocordyceps cf. dipterigena) in the New Guinean rainforest. Two different types of fruiting bodies have emerged from the fly's body: the dorsal 'mushrooms' (ascostroma) are perfectly positioned to release tiny spores on the fungi's next victim. The tropics hold a great diversity of these entomopathogenic fungi, with undoubtedly many undescribed species, each apparently tailored to target specific insect hosts. West Papua, Indonesia.
