I attended the field study with the Sydney Fungal Studies Group held at the Waterfall Reserve at Mt Wilson. At present, the Mt Wilson road is closed to visitors due to an instability. We were fortunate to obtain special permission with Blue Mountains Council allowing a limited number of cars from the group to be able to undertake the field study.
Here is some of the fungi found be the group –
Hygrocybe sp.
Hypholoma fasciculare
Armillaria sp.
Hygrocybe sp.
Slime Mould – Lycogala epidendrum
Scutellinia scutellata
Jafnea pallida
Plectania campylospora
Hygrocybe pseudograminicolor
Clavulina sp.
Probably Mycena sp.
Gloioxanthomyces chromolimoneus
Hygrocybe sp.
Hygrocybe pseudograminicolor
Hymenoscyphus sp.
Singerocybe clitocyboides
Cuphophyllus sp.
Ramariopsis ramarioides
Hygrocybe sp.
Ophiocordyceps robertsii
Caterpillar infected with Cordyceps bassiana
Hygrocybe rodwayi and Clavaria sp.
Hygrocybe sp.
These were unusual and quite interesting. Very tiny, growing in the hollow of a log. Probably Mycena sp.
The next two photos are crops showing more detail –
Chlorociboria aeruginascens
Hygrocybe batesii
Cuphophyllus aurantiopallens
Hygrocybe sp.
Ascocoryne sarcoides
Tremella fuciformis

Many thanks to Trevor and Kerry Millichamp for a lift up and back, and also to them both and Ray and Elma Kearney with suggestions for identifications.
