Wolli Creek Fungi and Orchids – 17 July 2026

This was another visit to Wolli Creek Regional Park to see how the fungi was going. I started from near Earlwood and went upstream to Paperbark Creek to check out one particular spot, and after not finding any fungi, I turned around and walked downstream. I walked all the way down to Tempe on this visit.

Here are photos of some of the fungi I saw –

Cuphophyllus austropratensis

Gliophorus graminicolor

Gloioxanthomyces chromolimoneus

Gliophorus graminicolor

Cyathus striatus

The Birds Nest Fungi was found in new mulch at Waterworth Park.

Now for some orchids –

Nodding Greenhood Orchid – Pterostylis nutans

Trim Greenhood Orchid – Pterostylis concinna

And there has been a lot of new track work. This awkward step has been fixed near Turella Reserve (on the Nannygoat Hill side)

Sheep grazing at Turrella Reserve? No – Australian White Ibis’s foraging.

The major new track work is between Turrella Reserve and Jackson Place.

It’s concerning to see this bit washed out.
