Anybody able to give an id on this? Ball of algae approx 8-10cm across, washed up on beach in northern NSW australia. Thanks

Was about to cook some masters mix and noticed all this pitting in the bottom of my 23q presto. Decided against it as guessing this is no longer safe? What's the consensus? Thanks

Looks like a club fungus with some kind of penicillin growing on it. Penicillin coccotrypicola (last photo) growing nearby. Google ai says penicillin doesn't grow on other fungi.

Growing from decayed log in wet forest tweed valley region Northern NSW Australia.

An ID and explanation would be great.

Thanks 😊
