Podoserpula miranda is a species of fungus in the family Amylocorticiaceae. Found in New Caledonia, it was described in 2012.[1] Its common name is the Barbie pagoda fungus[2] due to its brilliant pink color similar to cotton candy and multi-tiered appearance, possessing 3 to 6 pilei stacked one above the other which are separated by about one-half inch (about one cm) of stem between pilei rather than one pileus (mycology) (like most other agaricoid fungi), and reaching a height of four inches (ten centimeters).[3] The species epithet miranda means 'wonderful' in Latin.[2]
It grows in the soil and is associated with the Oak Gum (Arillastrum gummiferum).[4]
