Deadly Asian Fungus, Poisonous to Touch, Found in Far North Queensland Rainforest

The world's second-deadliest fungus has been discovered in suburban Cairns, Far North Queensland — but how it got there has scientists baffled.

ABC News (Australia) 6 Oct 2019

Poison fire coral originates from Japan and Korea but the Australian Tropical Herbarium (ATH) has confirmed its detection in a rainforest in the Redlynch Valley in Cairns.

ATH mycologist Dr Matt Barrett said scientists thought it might be a natural occurrence.

"But we don't really have a very good understanding at all of the fungi in northern Australia," Dr Barrett said.

"The distribution is all the way through South-East Asia as far as we can track it, but the records are very scattered."
