The day before’s trip to Ferndene had been a warm up trip for our visit to Philosophers Falls near Waratah. The fungi was amazing – both in variety and abundance.
There was so much fungi to see that we didn’t even make the waterfall this visit. Here is a range of what we spotted. I will start with the waxcaps –
Gliophorus chromolimoneus
Hygrocybe sp.
Porpolomopsis lewiliniae
Hygrocybe sp.
This species is short, with a red conical or rounded cap, and a distinctive thick yellow stipe. Here are some more –
Hygrocybe firma
Hygrocybe sp. – Perhaps Hygrocybe collucera –
Hygrocybe lilaceolamellata
Gliophorus graminicolor
Hygrocybe astatogala
Hygrocybe rodwayi
Hygrocybe batesii
Hygrocybe sp.
Hygrocybe apricosa
Hygrophorus mavis
Hygrophorus involutus
And now for some of the corals –
Clavulina subrugosa
Clavulinopsis sulcata
Clavulinopsis amoena
Ramaria sp.
Some of the other fungi –
Mycena aff. epipterygia
Mycena interrupta
Mycena toyerlaricola
Entoloma viridomarginatum
Entoloma sp.

Pholiota malicola
Polypore –
Calocera sp.
Jelly Fungus
Perhaps Dacrymyces cupularis
Leotia lubrica
Ascocornye sarcoides (and a Mycena interrupta)

A very good day seeing a wide range of fungi.
