yep http://www.instanthawaii.com/cgi-bin/hawaii?Animals Hawai'i has no native land mammals. The fact that it is isolated by 2,500 miles of ocean from land meant that it was impossible for a land mammal to survive any random journey. The few mammals Hawai'i has today, such as the feral pig, mongoose and rat are the result of human contact. Also missing from Hawai'i are snakes. Hawai'i actually has one native snake, which looks more like a worm than a snake - but no other snakes are found on any of the island (and the state goes to great pains to ensure it stays that way).

the only thing i can think of would be bird poo since birds have a tendency to shit in the same place in large groups
the native pans could have adapted to growing in fertile soil

it came from a vendor in hawaii so the people who got it(for lack of a better term) decided to add hawaii into the name
ill see if i can find the source of this...

lol do you know what species of mushrooms grew in hawaii before human introduction? knowing what those grow on could help narrow it down on what the native pans grow on

Hawaii does have native Pan Cyans... which also like poo. Although, pan cyan spores are smaller than cubes, so they may have made the oceanic trek more easily (small spores blow further)... but what did they grow on before cow and horse poo?
Probably deer feces. Deer where brought by boat to Hawaii as a present to the Hawaiian King. I can't remember which country offered them as a gift...but now they are a REAL nuisance on the islands, especially Molola'i and Lani'i.
Deer are herbivores like cows and horses and could have ingested grass which carried spores. It's possible that when the boats where emptied of the deer feces after a long voyage (that which wasn't dumped overboard) the feces had fungal spores in it which then germinated and was further propagated by the deer...
Just a thought
hawaii had native pans before that
