I was keen to revised the Terrys Creek area to see if certain fungi was out. And iff the fungi was poor then I would be able to find some birds to photograph.
Like my last trip, I walked down to the creek from Epping Station. When I reached the creek, I first walked upstream along the track on the true right bank. I was looking for Powerful Owls, but did not spot any. There was some fungi out however.
This one with spines, was a very thin crust on the end of a cut log –
Puffball – Lycoperdon sp.
I am not sure what this is, perhaps a Russula sp.
Mycena sp.
This polypore was growing at the base of a tree. I think it is Inonotus albertinii.
Entoloma sp.
This species was fairly abundant along the creek. It is the same as one above. Perhaps Russula sp.
I found these small ones growing on a dirt bank. Perhaps Arrhenia sp.
Entoloma sp.
Further downstream, I spotted one Powerful Owl. It had a Ring-tailed Possum.
It took some patience to photograph this Eastern Whipbird –
And another polypore. This one growing at the base of an Angophora costata. Again, I think it is Inonotus albertinii.
Last visit, I found a lot of this beautiful pink coral fungus. This time I only found one. Ramaria sp.
When I reached the Land Cove River at Browns Waterhole, I stopped for lunch. Then I crossed the river and continued along the fire road downstream. I wanted to check for fungi at a spot near the track.
Drosera sp.
Grey Fantail
Brown Gerygone
The fungi I was looking for was not out, so I walked to one of there streets of Turramurra and caught a bus to Turramurra Station.
