  • Etymology: "Named after Nudgee, a residential suburb of the city of Brisbane thought to be derived from an Aboriginal word meaning a wild or black duck. The suburb includes St Joseph’s Nudgee College, an educational institution with extensive school grounds that include diverse native bushland. St Joseph’s Nudgee College acknowledges the Turrbal people, traditional custodians of the lands and waterways known as Nudgee. This fungus was isolated from soil under a Melaleuca quinquenervia tree. The soil was collected by Year 8 students at St Joseph’s Nudgee College as part of a mycology project organised by their science teacher Belinda Drury. The students were Nick Cheney, Jordan Cordingley, Finn Curran, Jackson Dalton, Henry Dennis, Oliver Douyere, Joshua Eckersall, Xander Eyles, Eric Fitzgerald, Toby Gall, William Gibson, Angus Glyde, Hayden Hamilton, Toby Harvey, Mark Hili, Samuel Howard, Lucas Jebreen, Dean Keys, Lachlan Mills, Paddy Williams, Lincoln Wright, and Nicholas Zeitoun."
