Another please walk along Wolli Ck looking for birds, fungi and orchids.
Along the way, I found a reasonable amount of fungi out.
Heres is a Macrolepiota clelandii –
There were quite a few of these large puffballs that look like brains.
They are Calvatia craniiformis. Now for some waxcaps. These first lot were in the same spot I had seen them on my previous visit. First some Hygrocybe aurantipes.
In the first photo, you can also see a small emerging Hygrocybe astatogala.
Next, a Hygrocybe sp.
There were plenty of Hygrocybe austropratensis –
And the beautiful pink Hygrocybe cheelii were still out –
Look at the gill detail –
And I found another Hygrocybe astatogala –
And another red one – Hygrocybe sp.
Amongst the leaf litter were some small black clubs – Geoglossum cookeanum –
Andthis polypore, probably growing on buried roots –
All of this fungi was in the section upstream of Hartill-Law Road. There as not as much fungi downstream. Here are two waxcaps –
Hygrocybe austropratensis
Hygrocybe virginea
And there was also some coral fungus – Clavulinopsis fusiformis –
And some of the birds, A New Holland Honeyeater, A Silvereye and a Superb Fairy-wren.
There were plenty of these Greenhood Orchids out –
