Does not have the typical webby cortinar below the cap of most cortinarius - not sure on this one

That must have been disappointing for you; it has been reported that the bio luminescence decreases as the fungus begins to 'dry' out

Omphalotus nidiformis

Thank you. These images are still shots from a 20 second video from a wildlife camera. I don’t think this is a black rat, as I’ve never seen a black rat move like this - this one literally hopped vertically, at least five times its body height each time it bounced. I’ve seen black rats bound, but their movement is more of a horizontal bound than a vertical hop? Happy to send the video if you’d like?

@HelenCross I’ve only ever seen the Austroplebia sp. at my place. I’ve never seen Tetragonula sp. first hand and can’t work out the difference in photos (though I must say, I’ve also never spent a great deal of time trying to)🙃💚

Thanks for the detailed comments, ibaird. I was basing my id on the similarity to Oxycanus lyelli . The patterning is very similar as is the antennae colour, but perhaps it's possible that one was misidentified?

Oxycanus dirempta
