Fungi at Ferndale Park – 12 April 2021

I spent the afternoon at Ferndale Park at Chatswood looking for fungi. I was a bit dry and I didn’t find too much. The day before, Jason Carter had posted a photo of a nice cluster of waxcaps. They looked like the Ferndale Park Humidicutis sp. and I was keen to look at them.

I found them with no difficulty. They certainly looked like the Humidicutis sp. found at Ferndale Park which starts of green and the slowly changes to pink if conditions are suitable. This is very early for this fungus to appear.

Here is some of the other fungus –

Boletus ananiceps – 

Thanks to Roy Halling for this i.d.

I am not sure what these are growing on a log –

Stereopsis hiscens – 

Microglossum viride –

Clavulinopsis amoena –

Russula rosea –

Very tiny, perhaps developing Clavicorona taxophila –

Clavulinopsis sp. –

Armillaria sp. – 

I am not sure what these are –

And a slime mould on a log –
