Wolli Creek Fungi – 12 May 2023

After seeing the great fungi at Bola Creek the day before, I thought it worth having a look along Wolli Creek. I went to Earlwood and set off from Girrahween Park, first walking upstream a bit beyond Paperbark Creek. I then went downstream to the a short way beyond  the climbing area before walking back to Girrahween Park. What I spotted was encouraging.

I didn’t find a real lot of fungi, but I did at least find some interesting fungi. And it looked like more was emerging.

I found a lot of Coprinellus disseminatus

Upstream, I found this polypore growing on the ground –

And I found some red waxcaps. Hygrocybe sp. –

Downstream, east of Girrahween Park I spotted a lot of these waxcaps – Cuphophyllus austropratensis (what used to be called Hygrocybe austropratensis) –

 

And – Perhaps Omphalotus nidiformis –

Russula lenkunya

Perhaps Clavulinopsis amoena

Omphalotus nidiformis

Lycoperdon sp.

Inocybe sp.

Gliophorus graminicolor

Unknown species –

Clavulinopsis amoena

Old) Gloioxanthomyces chromolimoneus

I am not sure what this one is. I had originally thought it may have been Phellodon niger. Perhaps it is Stereopsis hiscens –

Cuphophyllus austropratensis

A good start. Another trip is on the cards.
