This was the last of my Tasmanian Fungi outings. I travelled with my sister to Castra Falls in the Nietta locality south of Penguin. Like previous excursions, the fungi was a lot poorer than previous visits, but we still managed to find some interesting fungi out. Also – the Castra Falls circuit is a delightful track passing through rugged and very beautiful country.
It was apparent soon after setting off along the track that the area has been severely damaged by recent floods. Many thanks to the local volunteers that work hard to maintain the track.
Here is some of the fungi was saw –
Crust fungus with gutation
Lanzia lanaripes
Growing on a tree –
Jelly Fungi – Perhaps Dacrymyces cupularis –
Silver Falls
I think this is Mitrula sp. It was going on the trunk of a tree fern.
We saw a lot of Chromelosporium carneum –
Clavaria pusio
Chromelosporium carneum
Grey discs on wood. Perhaps Phaeohelotium geogenum –
Heterotextus peziziformis
Chromelosporium carneum
Cortinarius rotundisporus
Chromelosporium carneum
Mycena interrupta
Xylaria castorea
We saw more of the brown club. This was going on a fallen over tree fern trunk. Mitrula sp.
Perhaps Phaeohelotium geogenum –
