Colourful Fungi at Sassafras Gully – 27 June 2017

This was the next in my regular visits to Sassafras Gully at Springwood to look for and photograph the fungi.

On this trip I first visited Sassafras Gully from the track at Sassafras Gully Road and exited via the Wiggins Track. I also had a quick look down Fairy Dell and the upper part of Magdala Creek – but the fungi there was not as abundant.

The cooler conditions are bringing out the waxcaps, and the previous visit had been quite good. I was hoping for more good fungi and I was not disappointed. I found a fair bit of fungi out – including a good collection of waxcaps. Here are some of the waxcaps that I found –

And some of the other fungi –

In one place, I found a huge number of pin moulds on the leaf litter. I am not sure if they were growing off fungi or vegetation.

More photos together with identifications are online here on my website.
