This odd gall forming fungal pathogen was collected swelling portions of the inflorescences of Schefflera digitata.
Swollen galls were part of the developing inflorescence; inside is dense brown powdery spores.
Post to mycologist Eric McKenzie on 15 October 2008 for identification. I expect the specimen is now in the NZ plant pathogen collection of Landcare Research in Auckland.
