This was a trip to visit Birdwood Gully at Springwood with Liz Kabanoff to see what fungi was out. We did not find a real lot out but what we did find was quite interesting.
The photo above shows a single specimen of a polypore growing on a dirt bank. It was only about 1 cm tall, so quite small. The cap was depressed and a bit rough. It looked like a small gilled fungus and we were surprised to see it had gills. It is hard to work out what it could be.
The small waterfall in the creek was nice after the recent rain –
Here are some more photos of fungi –
And some slime moulds –
The photo above is a much shorter exposure of the same slime mould and you can observe a lot of springtails eating the slime mould.
