I did a trip by myself to Sassafras Gully at Springwood to see how the fungi was going. This time I started by going along the track behind the shops, down Magdala Creek. I continued to Glenbrook Creek and walked upstream to the Lagoon, where I stopped for lunch and a swim. Then I exited via the track that goes to Sassafras Gully Road.
The fungi was not super abundant, but it was quite reasonable for so early in the fungi season.
Here are some that I found along Magdala Creek –

It had been quite a hot day, but it had been quite pleasant in the shade of the rainforest in the gullies. I certainly felt the heat climbing up to the road and walking back to the station.
