Two days earlier, I had met Meg, who was collecting waxcaps for the herbarium at Ferndale Park. She invited me to join her on another collecting trip at Sassafras Gully at Springwood. The weather forecast was not that good – rain after about 11 am. So we started off down the Wiggins Track.
We soon arrived at the creek and the junction with the main track. We found quite a few waxcaps out. Here are some –
Hygrocybe miniata
Gliophorus graminicolor
Hygrocybe anomola var. anomola
Hygrocybe anomola var. ianthinmarginata
Hygrocybe mavis
Hygrocybe aurantiopallens
Hygrocybe sp.
Hygrocybe astatogala
Hygrocybe sp.
Humidicutis taekeri
Hygrophorus involutus
Hygrocybe roseoflavida
Hygrocybe sp.
Humidicutis helicoides
And some of the other fungi –
Urnula campylospora
Ramariopsis crocea
Ramaria sp.
The rain started around noon, so we then left to walk out. It had been a good morning.
