I was keen to check out what fungi may be present in Sassafras Gully at Springwood. I caught an early train to Springwood, and was soon walking down the track at the end of Sassafras Gully Road. I ended up walking to the Lagoon at Glenbrook Creek and then down to the junction of Magdala Creek, and then to Springwood via that creek.
I was hoping to spot some unusual waxcaps, and I did find a few, although perhaps not as many as I was hoping to find.
Here is some of the fungi I spotted along the walk –
On their walk down the hill at the start, I spotted a number of boletes. Here is Austroboletus niveus –
