This was a repeat of the walk I did on 19 February. I started at Thornleigh Oval, and walked down the Great North Walk track to Browns Waterhole and then exited to Eastwood via Terrys Creek.
Abortiporus beniensis
The Lane Cove River was flowing quite high – and most of the stepping stones on the river crossings were a little under water, so wet feet were inevitable. I was mainly on the lookout for fungi and birds.
I didn’t see too much on the descent of Lorna Pass. And along the river, I saw much the same things out as I had seen on my previous trip.
And some of the birds, a Brown Gerygone, a Grey Fantail, a White-browed Scrubwren, a Lewin’s Honeyeater, and an Eastern Yellow Robin –
I had lunch at the picnic table a short way up the Terrys Creek cycleway. Near the table were some nice examples of jelly fungi –
And some more fungi along Terrys Creek –
Of most interest were some large polypores I found growing at the base of trees –
Perhaps Inonotus albertinii
Phaeolus schweinitzii
Abortiporus beniensis
Further along were some more fungi –
And some slime moulds –
Another White-browed Scrubwren –
And a Hyacinth Orchid –
