Fungi at Sassafras Gully – 1 March 2021

This was a very pleasant walk down Sassafras Gully at Springwood to look for and photograph the fungi. I found a reasonable amount out.

I started from the track at the end of Sassafras Gully Road and walked down to the Lagoon at Glenbrook Creek, then continued to the Magdala Creek junction. I then followed Magdala Creek to Springwood via Fairy Dell.
