I attended the Field Study with the Sydney Fungal Studies Group held at Mill Creek in Dharug National Park. Before the field study, the group had some discussion about whether it was worthwhile for it to go ahead given the very dry conditions recently. It did go ahead, and it was not as bad as we thought it may be, although a lot of the fungi we observed was in poor condition.
