In the afternoon, after a visit to the Upper Natone Reserve, I was dropped off at Ferndene Reserve at Penguin, while my two sisters visited some of the local shops. I spent an interesting two hours looking for fungi. This is a place I have visited many time before and is often great for fungi. My last visit was in May 2022.
I am not sure what this first one is –
Clavulina subrugosa
Ramariopsis kunzei
Small cups growing on a tree fern stem –
Clavulina cristata
Another one I am not sure of –
Perhaps Phaeohelotium geogenum –
Mycena interrupta
This polypore, growing on a log has interesting pores –
Another one I am not sure of –
Grifola colensoi
Stereum ostrea
And this coral fungi –
The fungi was reasonable, but not nearly as good as on previous visits.
