I joined the Sydney Fungal Studies Group for their field study at Coachwood Glen near Blackheath. The weather on the day was fine and sunny, but rather cold. The lead up period had been quite dry, so not that fungi was out, and what we found was often a bit dried out.
Here is sone of the fungi that we found –
Clavulinopsis amoena
Hygrocybe rodwayi
Hygrocybe sp.
Hygrocybe roseoflavida
Hygrocybe apricosa
Tremellodendropsis pusio
Clavaria tenuipes
Hygrocybe sp.
Xylaria castorea
Hygrocybe anomala
Clavulinopsis amoena
Cuphophyllus aurantiopallens
Ophiocordyceps robertsii
Hygrocybe apricosa
Tremellodendropsis pusio
Artomyces austropiperatus
Mycena sp.
Ascocoryne sarcoides
Pseudomerulius sp.
Panellus longinquus
Galerina sp.
Peziza vesiculosa
And zooming in to the right hand corner reveals this slime mould –
Hypholoma fasciculare
Hygrocybe leucogloea
And what is behind the white waxcap? Perhaps it is a Cordyceps fungus like Tolypocladium sp.
Bactridium flavum
Peziza vesiculosa
Scutellinia scutellata
Cuphophyllus aurantiopallens
Hygrocybe rodwayi
Scutellinia scutellata
And many thanks to Trevor and Kerry Millichamps for a lift up and back.
