Second time I've found this fungi growing approx 5ft up a living tree trunk. Both trees were paperbarks (maleleuca spp) and in both cases there were no other puffballs or similar fungi that I could find in the immediate area.

I know there are only 2 arboreal puffball species in Australia however I am unsure if these are ide tifiable as either one

Found on a suburban spare block, tragically just too late to catch it in all its undamaged glory.

Would love some insight into the 3 capless stems- are they aborts? Mutations? No signs of recent trauma; possibly an old mower injury?

Will try to ensure it is protected when blooming in the future as it is a truly impressive specimen and I would love to have it continue to sprout fruiting bodies into the future.

I found a few of these, but this is the only clear photo. These springtails were wide, and dark grey in color.
