I attended the field study at Coachwood Glen at Blackheath with the Sydney Fungal Studies Group Inc. We spent the morning at the Glen looking for, photographing and in some cases collecting specimens of fungi. Then we met a Blackheath, at one of the parks, and water lunch we examined the fungi we had collected and tried to work out was we had. It was a very interesting day.
