Fungi and Orchids at Sassafras Gully – 22 February 2024

Sue joined me a for a nice day spent in Sassafras Gully at Springwood. The weather was warm, and we walked in about out via the track from Sassafras Gully Road.

The fungi was not super abundant, but with careful looking we did find some interesting species.

I think this polypore is Inonotus albertinii

Greenhood Orchid

Austroboletus niveus

Cantherellus concinnus

Clavaria sp.

Amanita section Roanokenses –

Hygrocybe sp.

I am not sure what these are –

Austroboletus lacunosis

Entoloma sp.

Coprinellus disseminatus

Jelly Fungus – Probably Dacrymyces sp.

Ramariopsis kunzei

Cruentomycena viscidocruenta

Microglossum viride

Slime Mould

Clavulinopsis sulcata

I am not sure what these are –

Orchid – Bulbophyllum exiguum

During our visit, we enjoyed a swim at the Lagoon – the big pool where Sassafras Gully joins Glenbrook Creek. The water temperature was perfect. The leaches that we encountered during our visit were not so welcome.

Many thanks to Sue for great company and helping to spot some nice fungi.
