Some nice fungi is starting to appear at Ferndale Park at Chatswood. I visited the park in the morning, but could’ve spent a lot more time there.
Here is some of the fungi that was out –
Clavulina sp.
Cuphophyllus austropratensis
Clavulinopsis amoena
Clavulina cristata
Clavulina subrugosa
Tremella sp.
Cruentomycena viscidocruenta
Rickenella fibula
Cantharellus concinnus
Cystolepiota sp.
Humidicutis sp.
Fomitopsis hartmannii
Some of these polypores were very large –
Geoglossum sp.
Humidicutis sp.
Geoglossum sp.
Humidicutis sp.
This waxcap has not been identified and was first found at Ferndale Park. If conditions are right, then as it ages, it changes colour to pink.
Clavaria zollingeri
Microglossum viride
Humidicutis sp.
Clavulinopsis fusiformis
Ramariopsis sp.
Clavulinopsis amoena
Cortinarius sp.
Leotica lubrica
Cortinarius sp.
Clavulinopsis amoena
Hygrocybe sp.
Armillaria sp.
Ramaria sp.
Humidicutis sp.
Rimbachia cf. bryophila
Phaeoaphelaria sp.
The one above is a common small polypore that grows in soil. I had originally thought it was Stereopsis hiscens which appears in New Zealand Fungi guides. But to appears not to be that and has been placed in a new genus – Phaeoaphelaria.
Sarcodon sp.
I rarely find this species. Today – I found quite a few, and they were large, but most were in poor condition. Here is one I turned over to show the spines –
Psilocybe subaeruginosa
Ramaria sp.
And a Slime Mould – Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa –
