The previous Sunday I had visited Birdwood Gully at Springwood, and I decided on a followup trip. Again I was concentrating on fungi and birds.
First, some of the fungi I found.
Boletellus deceptivus
Boletellus emodensis
And some more Boletes –
Hygrocybe sp.
I spotted quite a few red Hygrocybes out. Theyseem to be two species – some seem to have yellow gills and the other red gills.
Porpolomopsis lewelliniae
Clavulinopsis sulcata
I think this is Rimbachia cf. bryophila.
Here is another growing close to an Entoloma sp.
Tiny discs growing on a log. Probably Bisporella citrina.
Aseroë rubra
Entoloma virescens
It was a highlight of the visit seeing these beautiful blue fungi out again.
Ramaria sp.
Cyptotrama asprata
I spotted this beautiful coral fungus again. Possibly Ramaria sp.
And the strange polypore I had seen on the previous visit. It seems to be the same as the one we found the day before at Bola Creek.
I had seen this jelly fungus on a previous visit. It could be Dacrypinax spathularia, but it is quite large and distinctly funnel shaped. It reminds me of Tremiscus helvelloides which I have observed in Europe.
Lactifluus sp.
Cantherellus concinnus
Sanguinoderma rude
And I am not sure what this one is –
Slime mould
And I saw two species of orchid.
Wasp Orchid – Chiloglottis seminuda
Greenhood Orchid – Pterostylis acuminata
And now some of the birds I spotted.
Grey Fantail
Black-faced Monarch
Red-browed Finch
Brown Gerygone
It had been a very pleasant trip.
