The Pixie’s Parasol is a delightful species with a striking cyan blue colour and delicate form. They can usually be found growing as a colony on wet or rotting wood in rainforests and eucalypt forests. In this artwork, hidden in the leaf litter, you may also be able to spot a green and golden bell frog.
