Favolaschia calocera, commonly known as the orange pore fungus, is a species of fungus in the Mycenaceae family. found in Madagascar, New Zealand, Italy and Australia. The first reported sighting in Australia was in 2005. It is very common on the walk trails in Lamington National Park near to O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat.
