I joined a large party from the Sydney Fungal Studies Group, Wolli Creek Preservation Society and visitors, to conduct a fungi survey in Wolli Creek Regional Park. The area that was surveyed lay between Girrahween Park and The Flying Fox Camp. All this land is within the Wolli Creek Regional Park.
During our survey, we found a good variety of fungi out including quite a few waxcaps and corals.
On a side track, we found a small amount of this beautiful, small coral fungus out – Ramariopsis crocea.
Cortinarius rotundisporus
Laccaria sp.
I think this is Microporus xanthopus –
Boletellus deceptivus
Hydnum repandum
Clavulina subrugosa
Clavulinopsis corallinorosacea
Psilocybe subaeruginosa
Cuphophyllus austropratensis
Gliophorus graminicolor
Gliophorus sp.
Gliophorus graminicolor
Clavulinopsis amoena
Clavulinopsis sp.
Gloioxanthomyces chromolimoneus
Clavulinopsis amoena
Gliophorus viridis
Humidicutis viridimagentea
.
One of the group, Phil. spotted these rare waxcaps hiding under ferns. I counted about 12 in total. This is the best display of this particular fungus I have seen.
Gliophorus graminicolor
Hygrocybe taekeri
The specimen had fallen over and was in poor condition. But, I think it is the first time this species has been found in Wolli Ck Regional Park. A good find.
Entoloma sp.
Trichoglossum hirsutum
Geoglossum sp.
Leratiomyces ceres
Perhaps Hemimycena sp.
Russula persanguinea
Geoglossum sp.
And another group of Ramariopsis crocea
Clavulina vinaceocervina
I am not sure what these are –
Lycoperdon sp.
The photos above are only a subset of what we found. Thanks to all who came along and helped spot some of this wonderful fungi. Also – special thanks to Sam Woodrow, the ranger in charge of Wolli Creek Regional Park for granting permission for the group to conduct the survey. Also thanks to Deb Little from WCPS for organising their members to participate.
