I once again joined a walk of the National Parks Association of NSW led by Brian Everingham. This time we went around there Forest Path in Royal National Park and then had a look for fungi along Bola Creek.
On the walk was Brian, Valerie, Sue, Deb, Gina, Suzanne and myself.
Along the first section, we were on the lookout for orchids. We saw a lot of orchid leaves and a few stems, but only one flower. It is a Pixie Cap Orchid – Acianthus fornicatus –
Now for some fungi.
Lactaria eucalypti
Rickenella fibula
