I was keen to head to Birdwood Gully at Springwood to see if any early season fungi was out due to recent rain. I persuaded Valerie and Sue to join me. We travelled up to Springwood by train and after a cafe stop, we were soon o the track down into the gully from Boland Avenue.
As it turned out, the fungi was very poor. This is the only one I photographed –
Cyptotrama asprata
And here is a slime mould –
And the same slime mould an hour or two later, on our way out –
This was the only orchid we saw out –
Bonnet Orchid – Cryptostylis erecta
Crimson Rosella
