Tyromyces toatoa
Tyromyces toatoa is a species of poroid fungus found in New Zealand. It was described as a new species by G. H. Cunningham in 1965. The type collections were made by Joan Dingley, who found the fungus in Taupo, Mount Ruapehu, near Whakapapa Stream. She found it fruiting on the bark of dead branches and trunks of Phyllocladus alpinus, at an elevation of 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). The specific epithet toatoa evokes the Māori name of the host plant.[1]

gollark: I have things I want out of software other than "it's the absolute easiest possible thing to use for very basic things".
gollark: ... no?
gollark: Personally, I only play exciting open-source games like Minetest on my FPGA-based entirely open-source RISC-V computer.
gollark: And firmware! And actually a lot of things now I come to think of it!
gollark: But those have closed-source CPUs!
