Sassafras Gully – Fungi and Birds – 22 January 2024

After some recent successful visit to Birdwood Gully on the north side of Springwood, I thought it would be worthwhile visiting Sassafras Gully on the south side to see what fungi was out there. This time, I was joined by Valerie and Sue.

The fungi we found was quite reasonable. A lot was not that fresh, and a visit a few days earlier would have been better. We walked down the track at Sassafras Gully Road to The Lagoon, and returned to Springwood via the Wiggins Track.

Tricholomopsis aff. rutilans

Amanita sp.

Cyptotrama asprata

Russula sp.

I think this is the remains of a slime mould –

Coprinellus sp.

Hygrocybe sp.

Strobilomyces sp.

Russula rosea

Boletellus sp.

Black-faced Monarch

Russula sp.

Entoloma sp.

Hygrocybe sp.

I am not sure what this one is –

And here is a juvenile Eastern Spinebill

Many thanks to Valerie and Sue for great company on the visit.
