After recently finding good fungi at Wolli Creek and Birdwood Gully, I decided to head to Springwood again and visit Sassafras Gully, hopefully before any fungi there got too dried out. On this visit I was accompanied by Sue. We found a fair amount of fungi out.
On this trip, we entered the valley via the track at the end of Sassafras Gully Road and walked as far as the Lagoon at Glenbrook Creek, where we had lunch, then we climbed out via the Wiggins Track.
Here is some of the fungi we found –
Porpolomopsis lewelliniae
Helotium terrestre
Cortinarius rotundisporus
Trichoglossum hirsutum
Gliophorus graminicolor
Geastrum triplex
Unknown species –
Cortinarius rotundisporus
Bolete, perhaps Xerocomellus sp.
Perhaps Galerina sp.
Aleuria aurantia
There is an amazing display of these large cups/discs at a landslide along the track. Hundreds of them….
This strange looking fungi is probably a Coprinopsis sp. Perhaps Coprinopsis laanii –

I was interesting to see what fungi we could find. Thanks to Sue for company.
