I spent an interesting morning at Ferndale Park at Chatswood looking for and photographing the fungi.
There was not a lot out, but I did find some nice fungi and slime moulds. Here is some of the fungi –
Leucocoprinus lacrymans
Thanks to Andre Jagger for the identification of this species. It grows in nooks at the base of trees such as Coachwoods. It is distinctive with the exuded red droplets.
Tremella mesenterica
Pseudohydnum gelatinosum
Stinkhorn – Mutinus boninensis and Stereopsis hiscens
Cyptotrama asprata
Mycena sp.
Stereopsis hiscens
Microglossum viride
I am not sure what this species is. It was growing on a living tree.
Clavulinopsis amoena
Clavulinopsis fusiformis
Rimbachia cf. bryophila
Lactarius sp.
Chlorociboria aeruginascens
Hymenotorrendiella eucalypti
Marasmius elegans
I think this one is Pleurotus ostreatus –
And now for some slime moulds.
Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa
Arcyria sp. and Hypoxylon bovei (the black fungi)
