I thought that it may be worthwhile ding a walk down Sassafras Gully at Springwood to see if any fungi was out. There had been some recent rain, and the Springwood area seemed to have received a fair amount. However, on my visit, it rained lightly most of the time – which did make photography difficult.
I started down the track at the end of Sassafras Gully Road, and walked down to the Victory Track junction then continued to not far past the junction with the Wiggins Track. I then walked back out, the same way, stopping for lunch under an overhang on the way up to Sassafras Gully Road.
The fungi was reasonable. I found a number of colourful fungi out – probably Entolomas. Here are some –
Also, near the Victory Track junction I found a Cordyceps –
Ophiocordyceps robertsii
Some of the other fungi –
And, on the way down, not far before the first creek crossing, I found a cluster of Bonnet Orchids. They were in the same location I had seen them on previous years.
